Star Wars Origami: May the Folds be With You

In a galaxy not so far away, Star Wars fans have managed to find a new way to express their love for the epic movie franchise: the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. Yes, that’s right: just when you thought that origami couldn’t get any cooler (and we honestly mean that without any hint of sarcasm), along comes a fun twist on the paper craft that gets us reaching for our notepads and switching onto YouTube faster than you could fire up a lightsaber.

Inspired by this latest trend and the amazing Star Wars Origami book by Chris Alexander - which features custom-designed paper illustrated with designs from the movies - we’ve scoured the web for the best Star Wars origami creations around (including some that were designed by Chris, of course). So for more instructions on how to make your very own origami droid, Darth Vader or Death Star – or if you just fancy seeing what other people have made – take a look at the following designs and see if you can pick a favourite!
