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."

lucasorigami lucasorigami

i'm a super folder and i have this book it's great,you should get it

It's definitely good to have the talk zone back! Hey Tom I posted an origami yoda (five fold) and it hasn't came up on the origami yoda website yet. I posted it in November 2015 and my SF name is coolartic2.

Ya, Sam is pretty far behind right now...

Hey, Tom, I would really like to ask you a question: will you make any more origami yoda books?

Hard to say what the far future holds... But in the near future... no. I'm finishing off the Qwikpick series and launcing Rocket & Groot and the Inspector Flytrap series.

STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE DROID AWAKENS!

Ha! He did! (I never figured out why he was asleep!)

He went in2 a droid coma because of Luke missing

Guys RANDOM PARTY IDEA: A dj. In. A PANDA COSTUME!

I found a star wars parody of hello it was hilarious and made sense (unlike other parodies)

Update since the Talkzone was deleted: I'm older (duh) my new fav animal is KOALA I started writing a book I'm actually going 2 finish eventually some other stuff

STAR WARS EPISODE VIII: THE FORCE GOES BACK TO SLEEP

That would be really exciting!
