Star Wars Origami

One of my favorite technical books from a couple of years ago was this textbook by Robert Lang on the mathematics and symmetry properties of paper and origami.

But there was just that something that was missing. The models were so..., well..., so traditionally Asian that I had trouble connecting with them culturally. NOW, however, there is hope, for the Force is with us all. Phillip West has folded a set of Star Wars Origami models. Enjoy.

If you like this sort of thing, you should check out some of the other Star Wars Origami you can find on the web - nothing as dramatic as Phillip's models, but worth a look all the same...
