This origami Stormtrooper is so adorable, we're sure any droids he's looking for would be tempted to turn themselves in.

Just a seven-minute fold for this Star Destroyer means it's sure to be ready in time for the arrival of the Rebel fleet.

If you're planning on turning to the Dark Side, you'll need a raggedy old lightsaber. This one can do the trick! Focusing crystal not included.

4. Origami X-Wing Fighter

If you've made origami cranes, the Force doesn't need to be too strong with you to pull off one of these origami X-wing Fighters! Effect on origami Death Stars not guaranteed.

3. Origami Millennium Falcon

You'll need 30 minutes for this one. But she's got it where it counts—down to the radar dish!

2. Origami Yoda

Fold Master Yoda, think you can? On-screen diagrams, very helpful you will find! When finished, carry him on your back you must.

1. Origami Darth Vader

This brilliant design is from gifted origami YouTuber Tadashi Mori. It will take 45 minutes, but you didn't really want to take the easy path to the Dark Side, did you?

In Japan since 2001, I'm a former ALT trainer who's lived in Shizuoka, Saitama and Tokyo, and visited 34 of Japan's 47 prefectures (13 to go!). When I can get out from behind the editorial desk, I take photos, do bits of theater and practice German longsword.
