Yip!!! Long awaited? Much anticipated? (Both, in our house.)

Yahoo!!! That is amazing and awesome and glorious and geektastic news! I can’t believe I have to wait that long. I’m really hoping for Chewie and Han. Two finger Origami madness. Does it get any better!

  delzey wrote @

i’m hoping for chewie (too bad he has to be with han) but i’d be intrigued if it were admiral ackbar!

  Maria20020 wrote @

I hope Jabba.He is a strange werido!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  chance wrote @

Ackbar or vader or both! But I want dwight to still have yoda too

  Joey wrote @

I think Yoda should have someone to face off with, that’s why I voted for Darth Vader, otherwise I would have chosen a Magna-Guard Fighter (other).

  AJ#19 wrote @

I think in the 2nd there shoud be darth vader

DARTH VADER

My son is having some difficulty with reading, but he loves everything Star Wars, so at his school’s bookfair he just had to get the Origami Yoda book. He was nervous about all the words in the book and thought it may be too hard for him to read, so I agreed to read it first. I was laughing so hard I was brought to tears. My son then couldn’t wait to get his hands on the book and is totally engrossed in it. Thanks for such a humorous and clever book I can’t wait to read Part Two.

i got mine there to

  aquafortis wrote @

So excited to hear about the sequel! Congrats. I, too, vote for Chewie, but I think origami Boba Fett would be pretty good, too.

  Gavin Miller wrote @

VADER! A lot of people dont know who admiral ackbar is, so not him. Vader is the most well know character in Star Wars besides Yoda.

Do you go to austell intermeidete???

  Coolguy wrote @

VADER!!!! I think some new kid should come to the school with a darth vader origami puppet.Brenton and the new kid should become friends or face off the new kids name should be Ethan

  dj wrote @

i think R2-D2 (other) should win

  BIGFAN2000 wrote @

Hmmmm…. didn’t I say maybe?

  Jack Tolen wrote @

  Jack Tolen wrote @

your birthday is the 14? no no, the book is released this fall

  ethan howell wrote @

You made an awesome book!! it was extremly funny. I’m working on how to fold the origami yodas. But it’s kinda complacated. plus your art is funny!!!!!! I love tis book. You should make a third one. SORRY I mean third you should make. hope you LOL. That means laugh out loud if you didn’t know.

  ethan howell wrote @

Now I’ve folded like 5 yodas. Can’t wait till 2 book comes out!! Do you have any more books beside The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and the 2nd book?

  ethan howell wrote @

Sorry for my spelling,I was rushing.

  ethan howell wrote @

DARTH VADER of course,but it would be cool if Tommy came to school with an Origami Darth maul

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Origami Darth Maul? That would be cool, but hard to fold!!

  Zach wrote @

EPIC book its my favorite book ever

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Thanks for calling it “epic!” I like that! As long as it’s not Epic:FAIL…

  quadrider2001 wrote @

I am in 4th grade and I think that your book is awesome.I think that Dwight is funny.I hope that I dont’ turn out like Dwight. I can,t wait for the next book.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Don’t worry about turning out like Dwight. Just make sure you don’t turn out like Harvey!

  Harvey wrote @

Yeah, i also pick Darth Vader. But i still want Yoda to be in the book. Get rid of Harvey’s Yoda and replace it with Vader. Make it give BAD advice and people don’t know it.

Harvey’s Comment

  PuddingMonster wrote @

dude, you rock!!! i would have never thought to make a book as awesome as that!! i think you should make an origami bossk, it would be great to have a bounty hunter.

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Yes! Bounty Hunters would be great! I’m going to think about that seriously…

  PuddingMonster wrote @

thanks man

  Jack Tolen wrote @

i made origami cad bane

  steven hof wrote @

i wonder why origami yoda is so popular than Dwight

  bob wrote @

Iloooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddd your first book I read it in 46 min. I want origami Admiral Ackbar because I want to see how he or it talks

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

46 minutes! Man, you need a special license to read that fast.

  Jack Tolen wrote @

my two favorite books are THE STRANGE CASEE OF ORIGAMI YODA, and HORTON HALFPOTT

  Jake0900 wrote @

I read the book, and its one of my favorite books. Instead of having just 1 in the next book harvey should get a gang with the sith,vader,clones,and bounty hunters.But, if you can only have one can it please be darth vader hes so awesome.Imade an origami yoda,it looks like a kind of crumpled one that you drew in the book. This one kid in my school is like harvey he’ll be jealous and try to copy me when he sees it…heh heh heh…..

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

You want two of them? Maybe, maybe…. OK!

  Jake0900 wrote @

Ok thank you.

  Jake0900 wrote @

Also if you use darth vader can he do that breathing thing every once and a while, I just want to see how you would write down the breathing thing.The other reason is because i think itd be funny for him in the middle of the conversation to go hhhhooooopppppppuuuuu or however you type that breathing thing he does.

  bett wrote @

vader!!!!!! i hope that vader wins man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

He’s doing pretty good…. Could Ackbar come from behind? Do Chewie and Han have a chance? Will the 2nd place finisher be in Book 3? Stay tuned!

  Jake0900 wrote @

vader cant lose hes the ppprrrreeccccciiiiioooooouuuussss wait wrong movie never mind

  thomas wrote @

its ssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooo got to be darth vader

  Siyeon Park wrote @

i wish that chewie and han wins, but darth vader is too popular!!!
he’s using the force and mind control to make everybody like him,
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I think you’ve figured it out!!

  yoda folder wrote @

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Thanks, Zeke. I’m not that awesome though. Just a StarWars-loving, paper-folding nerd…

  zeke wrote @

i know tom thats what makes you rock

  diego wrote @

Darth Vadar. oh how about a new kid comes with a origami vadar and he hates yoda. and he has astma like me(for the breathing problems). yoda and vadar face off and yoda makes a norrow win. thats good i need to tell tom. wait dont read that!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

That’s a great idea, dude!
The book’s already written, so I’m afraid it’s too late. But I seriously wish i had thought of that myself!

  Anonymous wrote @

vader. but you should still make instructions for all characters.

  Ashley wrote @

i know! you could make instructions for dark vadar, and origami yoda! just like anonymous said!

  Ashley wrote @

im a girl……but still!
DARK VADER IS STILL AWSOME! EVEN THO IVE NEVER SEEN A STAR WARS MOVIE EXCEPT ONCE! HES AWSOME.actually, i only watched star wars for like …..idk…..5 min?haha…..

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

5 minutes is enough to know that Darth Vader is awsomely evil…. Watch the whole movies sometime … It’s great!

  Joshua wrote @

I think if you add darth vader it will be the incredible! Because they could have an epic clash! I love your book so much that I already read it twice in just two days! I also made my own origami yoda, that is different from the one you show, but, it includes some of the same steps. I even decided to draw a lightsaber on his waist. Thank you for making this book, because, it has opened my imagination even more than it already is!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Great! Really glad you liked the book!

Send me a picture of your modified Origami Yoda!
-Tom

  Joseph B wrote @

I think Admiral Ackbar should just say “it’s a trap” every time Yoda gives advice. My son (age 7) Joseph thinks Darth Vader should be in it because Yoda needs someone who is opposite him…good vs. bad! We love the first one and can’t wait till the second!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Your son has a good point! So do you… Maybe you’re both right… We’ll see soon!

  Ashley wrote @

Battle of the finger puppets! VADAR VS. YODA!
that would be cool….

  Ashley wrote @

Cant wait …..your skyping with our classroom tomorow for like….20 minutes! We are giving you a suprise!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Your class was great! Thanks for the surprise …. many many Origami Yodas!!!

  Ashley wrote @

  joshua benson wrote @

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Thanks! Just fiddled around with some paper until it started to look like Yoda…. Then kept working on it.

  Brandy Rast wrote @

  brandy rast wrote @

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Thanks, Ian!
I’m really glad you like the books!

I’m afraid i don’t have instructions for some of the poll choices. Hopefully, I will eventually! (The Clone Trooper in particular has been hard to get right.)

  mrscadorna/FELIX wrote @

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

That would be awesome! But what if someone gets a paper cut from the paper light sabers?

  mrscadorna/FELIX wrote @

tom what inspired you to wrote this book
reply

  mrs.cadorna/FELIX wrote @

chewie,han and darth vader will make the main characters

  Ian wrote @

I actually kinda think that the next book will be based around Chewbacca and Han because I think that Chewbacca was used as a clue to the next book in the first book in the chapter Origami Chewbacca and the Unsigned Detention slips. But that might be a red herring or something.

  mrs.cadorna/FELIX wrote @

YES BUT DARTH VADER WOULD BE BETTER THAN CHEWBACCA

  um hi kid wrote @

thats what i thought!

  josh benson wrote @

tom why did u delay it again????????? the rain is no excuse!!!!!

  mrs.cadorna/FELIX wrote @

TOM WHAT INSPIRED TO WRITE THIS BOOK

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

I’ve been a fan of Star Wars and origami for almost my whole life.

Then one day I saw a picture of an origami Yoda on the Internet. I created my own design for an Origami Yoda finger puppet and soon realized it might make a cool book.

  mrs.cadorna/FELIX wrote @

DARTH MAUL VS DARTH VADER VS YODA WOULD BE THE BATTLE OF A CENTURY DONT YOU THINK TOM AND EVERYBODY

  Mrs Cardona/Reynaldo wrote @

its a cool book

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

  Jason/Logan Bruns wrote @

My son (7) is a huge fan of the book. He burned through it in about 5 days. It says a sequel release in 2011. Do you have a time frame? I teach middle school, and I appreciate you looking out for the “boys,” reading is a tough sell at this age.

Thanks Tom,

Jason and Logan

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

The sequel should be out in August!

Glad your son liked the book!!
