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!

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."

Depeche Mode??? Dude, that's from back in ye olden days when I was in school!!

Dude,you have really good taste,I like almost all of those things
I recently watched Back to the Future (luckily before October 21, 2015) and I also have to agree it's an AMAZING movie! I also like the Back to the Future/ Star Wars music, too. Legos are also awesome!
Hey Robloxian! Good call on Back to the Future. One of the best movies I've ever seen!
Me too,it is my 4th favorite movie next to Star Wars,Harry Potter,And Indiana Jones!
Which ones your favorite? Mines Part II.
I like part 1
Who doesn't like back to the future (1, 2 or 3) The 2nd film was a bit over the top but it was right about things like smartwatches.
the first one was the best. don't you think. coolartic3 are you on origamiyoda.com
I'm just like you man!
Tom thank you SO much for your letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also i posted on origami yoda .com and it hasn't shown up thanks SO MUCH.
Glad you got the letter! the website is running pretty far behind right now...
So this is the new Talkzone? It's kind of unfortunate that you can't post links, but okay.
Yes, that would be nice.... but it could lead to trouble. As we found out the last time, some people will use any loophole they can find to cause trouble.
Well, I suppose that is the case. It's quite a shame that people have to abuse the system like that.
