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."

I think nobody cares about clonetroopers :C

Me, too! And I love seeing Rex on Rebels!

Well, I do! Especially after watching The Clone Wars. In my opinion, Clone Troopers are better than Stormtroopers (who else agrees? ^^) My favourite clones are Rex and Fives.

Clone troopers are better than storm troopers! My favorite is fives:)

But clone troopers r awesome

Tom! Just to let you know I'm girlofawesomeness29, I had some loging in problems so I got a new account. Anyway, I've been writing a book called Homework Helper. It's about a girl who made a origami mace windu that helped her do her homework than it worked so well that she brought it to school to help her with her school problems. Then, I don't want to spoil it. What do you think of the idea?

I think your idea sounds fantastic!!!!

Thank you sooooo much!!! That means soooooooooooo much!!
