How to be one with Alexa
What happens when you combine one of the most popular film franchises with one of the most popular smart-home devices? Star Wars Alexa Skills and easter eggs. There are currently only a handful of skills — not even enough to fill a space cruiser — but there are a few gems. Plus, Amazon added a number of Easter eggs, so if you say, “Alexa, can you talk like Yoda,” surprised at the answer you may be.
