Star Wars Origami

Obiwan Kenobi writes "This has to be the strangest thing I've run across in quite awhile. Star Wars Origami features about a dozen pieces of Star Wars vehicles and characters complete with diagrams on how to make them yourself. And just when I thought this was an anomaly, the links section includes all kinds of great Star Wars Origami, such as this one (dubbed Stare Wares) and this one featuring a wicked Destroyer Droid complete with the shiny metal finish."

      I forget what Star Wars parody it was where they have Yoda say,

  11. For The Complete Star Wars Obsessive... by Nova+Express · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...someone should get these guys together with the Japanese guy who's doing the one frame at a time ASCII remake of Star Wars. Instead of ASCII, they should do an entire frame-by-frame, stop-motion-animation remake of Star Wars using nothing but origami! Origami figures, origami props, origami backgrounds, origami spaceships...

    This would have the virtues of combining two deranged, inexplicable geek activitives into one, AND keep those obsessives off the streets for years to come!

    I dunno, the image of a paper death star just doesn't inspire the fear and awe worthy Darth Vadar.

    I have images of him striding down the hall with a noisy crunch-crunch-crunch as he negotiates the flimsy corridors. Or worse, accidentally putting someone through the wall like a re-run from a 70's sitcom when jacking up a fail'd officer by the throat.

    Though with a bit of lighter fluid, and a fire-cracker ...

    Excellent use of the Anti-Noid Stilt as an origami display stand in the last link! Bravo! I've been wondering what to do with those things. Also makes a good cantina table for your Han and Grito figures to sit at. I suppose it's no accident that someone who makes sci-fi origami eats alot of pizza.

    You all have it all wrong. You can fold paper into the shape of an Ewok, but Ewoks themselves are too short and round to fold. So we all can just BBQ 'em!
