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."

Ive just finished ur book pricess labelmaker to the rescue but i have a few questions. was that ur latest book ( i have read all but not in order)? R u making a new origami star wars book? please comment back

After Princess comes Pickletine... which is the LAST book in the series. :(

To answer your question, no. Emperor Pickletine is the latest and I don't think it is likely that Tom will make another OY book. But if you want more stories then you can check out the EU.

Hey Tom, have you seen my letter yet? It had a origami tauntaun, Plo toon,and some other stuff. Also do you want some of my Grievous instrux? I altered your Darth Maul origami to make him.

I'll be on the lookout for the Tauntaun! And I definitely want you to post those Grievous Instrux!

Thanks! Since the system for posting is a little slow, I'll try to get it out as soon as possible!

Rey or Kylo Ren, but anything works because they are all awesome

Well, I've already folded Kylo Ren, so....

I think it should be Finn, he's also trying to learn the force.

tom did you see TFA. and if you did tell us which movie is your favorite, and for a cover character kylo ren or phasma.

Empire is still my favorite... As for a cover character.... right now I want to hear what you guys think!

hmm good question, I would say Rey or Kylo ren, but thats just me any character would be awesome

Rey is really awesome! My favorite new character!

bb8man bb8man

I can't think of an origami name for poe. Do you like Poe's x-wing

hey tom any chance you make an origami rey or finn or poe? or maybe hux or phasma or SNOKE?!

Snoke would be interesting.... it would have to be crumpled paper!

So, SuperFolders.... if you missed my message below I asked.... What character from the new movie would make a good cover star?

Paper Fold/Paper Fett/Boba Fold (Boba Fett)

Kylo Ren or Poe or.... Well, basically all the TFA characters.

BB8, Kylo Ren, Finn (And maybe Rey) would be awesome.

BB8. Definitely
