On 4 May every year we see a number of companies launching products, or gearing their marketing around Star Wars fans. But it's not just about getting new Star Wars-branded Adidas sneakers and phone accessories. Sometimes it's making your existing gadgets a bit more Star Wars-y.
Continuing a trend it started in 2018, Amazon has rolled out a number of fun commands to Alexa to celebrate Star Wars Day. So whether you have an Echo Dot or Echo Show, or just some Alexa-enabled headphones, you can join in the fun without buying anything new.
Here are some of the latest Star Wars commands to ask your Alexa device
You can try this out on any Echo device you have or via the Alexa app on your phone. Be warned that they won't go much further than just giving you that initial reponse, but they might amuse any fans of Star Wars.

The sound quality is better than it ever has been, with the same capabilities as its bigger, more expensive siblings.
If Alexa isn't giving you the fulfillment you want on Star Wars day, then of course the best thing to do is settle down and enjoy the movies and TV series. We have a complete guide to the best order to watch the Star Wars movies, which is now a lot easier with Disney+ giving access to everything so you can stream on demand. If you're lucky enough to own the Echo Show 15, then you can even use Fire TV on your Echo Show to dive into Disney+ and stream to your heart's content.
