Origami Yoda: The Series

Origami Yoda: The Series was a fan-made live-action adaptation of the Origami Yoda series written by Tom Angleberger. The series was created by SuperFolder OscarU, but shortly after the second episode, SuperFolder JC took over.

The original series ran from July 19th, 2012 through August 19th, 2015. and was comprised of 7 episodes. There was an attempt at a revival of the show in 2017-18, but lack of interest shut down the project after only one episode.

In other words, the fool *did* rush in.

### Episode II: The Embarrassing Stain

### Episode III: The Home Run

Mike is infamous for crying during P.E. class, specifically when striking out in baseball. He tells everyone his tears are "angry tears" and not "boo-hoo tears", but that doesn't mean the other students won't make fun of him. So Mike decides to ask Origami Yoda for advice.
