Padawans can learn how to fold R2-D2 and C-3PO, draw Jabba, and even build a fully functioning ChapStick rocket! Other Force-mastering activities include: “Kellen’s Guide to Cool Letters,” “Mike’s Complete Rules and Tips for Pencil Pod-Racing,” “Rhondella’s Tips for Photographing Origami,” and much more!
With Tom Angleberger’s goofy sense of humor and accessible art style, Art2-D2’s Guide to Folding and Doodling is sure to satisfy and inspire the millions of Origami Yoda and Star Wars fans. May the doodles be with you!
Includes 16-page color insert with 10 pages of colored pull-out origami paper; instructions to make Yoda, Darth, C-3PO, Admiral Ackbar, and R2-D2; a section on photographing your origami creations, and two Star Wars backdrops to photograph them against.

This is the blockbuster bestselling Origami Yoda series, written by Tom Angleberger, author of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side, showcasing his proven knack for authentically capturing the intrigues, fads, and dramas of middle school in “a satisfying tale of friendship and just resistance to authority” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).



Praise for Art2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodling
"Once again, Angleberger’s humor, which presents itself in the text through characters from the series, in both human and origami form, connects with middle-grade readers. 'Art2' and the other 'Origami Yoda' books are the ultimate example of the by-a-fan/for-the-fans format, which succeeds if executed properly. This did he.”
Florida Times-Union

"
Excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger’s bestselling Origami Yoda series… The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement."
Publishers Weekly

"The presentation’s offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high interest book..."
Booklist

"Fans (and nonfans, if there are any) of the “Origami Yoda” series (Abrams) and website will find new opportunities aplenty for foolery in this spinoff compendium of progressively challenging hands-on instructions for drawing, folding, and goofing around with (mostly) Star Wars characters."

Soooooo...tom....people...idk what 2 talk about...who is excited about Pokémon GO! ?

I haven't been following Pokemon GO.... but it better have Snorelax!

Hey- o everyone! This is a question for all SFs that have watched The Force Awakens (and I'm pretty sure that's probably going to be most of you) do you think Rey is Luke's daughter? Why, why not? Comment below here.

I don't think so. I have ZERO inside information, that's just my opinion!

Yes, and because: 1. Rey's family disappeared for (what seems) no reason. 2. Luke also disappeared also. 3. Naz said that Luke's Lightsaber calls to Rey.

Good to see you all! Have a good night!

Hello Tom! How are you?

CAMMY!!!! Great to talk to you again! What's been happening since the olden days?

has anyone here read or watched the video that says Jar Jar is a Sith? if you have not it is really mind blowing

Agreed! (As I said elsewhere.) But I think the theory discounts JarJar's appearances in The Clone Wars, which IS canon.

Poe or Finn too (for the cover idea

Tom, do you know how long mail could take to reach you/ /

It can take a while to get to me... and then I;m afraid it can take awhile for me to answer.... I promise it's nothing personal!

I don't think its how long it takes for mail to get to him, I think its how long it takes for him to read them.

hey when u where make art2-d2 guide when you told us how to take pictures of origami were you speaking to us?

I was talking to the whole Internet actually! There's no need to post blurry, dark images.... but of course half the stuff I put on Instagram is blurry, dark and has a shadow over it.... :)

I'm quite sure he did. There already is some advice concerning the photos on the site, but I keep seeing blurred or wrong-side-up photos on Stookiness, and sometimes you can hardly see anything. It's a pity, especially when someone posted instructions and you can't follow them.

hey tom I posted some stooky origami that you might have missed it was posted around 2 days ago :(

I see most everything after Sam posts it...
