Star Wars Origami

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cheaper-than-legos dept.

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."

  6. Low Intermediate by Omkar · · Score: 3, Informative

    I fold a lot, so I have a decent idea of origami difficulty levels (Simple, Low/(nothing)/High Intermediate, Complex). These models are around low intermediate difficulty - anyone should be able to fold them after a few tries.

    The subject site tries to install the GATOR spyware program. I would recommend nobody go there.

    Slashdot should check their links to make sure they don't contain malicious programs.

    Bad journalism yet again...
