    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.

    Star Wars Quiz

    Star Wars Quiz

    This skill, brought to you by Disney, asks you multiple-choice trivia questions about the film franchise, such as “What color is Darth Vader’s lightsaber?” However, this skill has only five questions, so it’ll be over faster than the Kessel Run.

    Alexa, can you talk like Yoda?

    Alexa, can you talk like Yoda?

    Alexa, tell me a Star Wars joke.

    There’s nothing better — or worse — than dad jokes. Alexa has a trove of Star Wars-related puns and groaners if you ask her to tell you one.

    Michael A. Prospero is the U.S. Editor-in-Chief for Tom’s Guide. He oversees all evergreen content and oversees the Homes, Smart Home, and Fitness/Wearables categories for the site. In his spare time, he also tests out the latest drones, electric scooters, and smart home gadgets, such as video doorbells. Before his tenure at Tom's Guide, he was the Reviews Editor for Laptop Magazine, a reporter at Fast Company, the Times of Trenton, and, many eons back, an intern at George magazine. He received his undergraduate degree from Boston College, where he worked on the campus newspaper The Heights, and then attended the Columbia University school of Journalism. When he’s not testing out the latest running watch, electric scooter, or skiing or training for a marathon, he’s probably using the latest sous vide machine, smoker, or pizza oven, to the delight — or chagrin — of his family.
