School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6-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. First, Angleberger builds on simply drawn instructions and blank practice space ("Scribble in this box you must!") for "Jedi Super-Doodlers" with step diagrams for folding finger puppet "doodle-gami"-beginning with a generic figure requiring just three folds but highlighted by a challenging Darth Paper with Annakin's face beneath a hidden pleat. Following projects range from full-size costumes made from bulletin board paper to a rocket constructed from an emptied tube of lip balm; prints created with toys and inked silly putty molds; and even advice for taking good photos of finished work. Readers will take to heart Yoda's "Doodle or doodle not! There is no try!" though the empty fill-in panels, plus several detachable sheets of colored paper for folding, will be problematic for library use.-John Peters, Children's Literature Consultant, New York City (c) Copyright 2013.

Publisher's Weekly Review
In this excellent activity-book offshoot of Angleberger's bestselling Origami Yoda series, Kellen, Tommy, and other kids from McQuarrie Middle School guide readers through drawing and folding origami Star Wars characters like Origami Yoda, Fortune Wookiee, and Kirigami General Grievous. Several color origami pages are bound into the book ("Do you know how much it cost to have them printed?" writes Kellen. "A lot!!!!!"), and additional activities include writing dramatic lettering and creating prints using ink and Silly Putty. The banter and tongue-and-cheek humor of the previous books is present, along with encouragement: "You can make your origami puppets fight.... Use the force... of your thumb!" Ages 8-12.

Booklist Review
An offshoot of the popular Origami Yoda series, this inviting activity book offers instructions for ideas such as creating origami Star Wars characters, drawing doodles and pictures, and making games. In a light fictional framework, middle-grade student Tommy tells how he came to assemble the book, which is made up of his school friends' hands-on ideas and set forth in traditional text as well as cartoon panels with speech balloons. The art and craft pages sometimes include boxes showing the step-by-step stages of the kids' drawings and projects. One page shows how to make origami Halloween costumes using huge sheets of bulletin board paper, while another explains How to Talk like Yoda. The book, which includes some pullout pages of origami paper, occasionally leaves blank spaces where readers are invited to draw. Still, given the presentation's offbeat attitude, ingenuity, and wit, many libraries will want to stock this high-interest book and hope for the best.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
