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."

    Slashdot City Spaceport. You will never find such a ruthless hive of Star Wars nuts. We must be cautious.

    I want to see footage of hard core Star Wars nerds trying their hand at this while being mocked by Triumph the Insult Dog.

    Children will build up fleets of paper tie-fighters to play with only to have them go up in flames as soon as a jedi with a lightsaber challenges them.

    Use it to annoy co-workers I can! Take it to useless meetings I can! Imagine talking backwards with a Yoda finger puppet. Much fun and hilarity I guarantee.

    I now officially join the ranks of confused and irate Slashdoters who scratch their heads daily trying to figure out why their submission was rejected for this kind of material.

  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!
