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."

  3. What got ME hooked into origami... by euxneks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What got me hooked was the dude in Bladerunner.. I thought it was so cool how he would be so quiet and create these little origami masterpieces to taunt harrison ford's character! That's when I started to learn origami and now I place little dragons, unicorns, peacocks, etc.. all around my university in inconspicous and sometimes conspicous places! =) It's fun, you should do it too!

    "A long time ago, in a galaxy far cheaper than this one..."


    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Star Wras , an origami recreation of the Battle of Yavin.

    Story
    What if a Japanese film company had decided to remake Star Wars on a budget using the noble art of folded paper? Origami fighters, cardboard gun emplacements...This film is the result of such a question.
