Updated: July 29, 2021
A short time ago in a galaxy very, very home to us, Amazon built a voice assistant named Alexa.
And apparently, her developers were big Star Wars fans because Alexa’s code is packed with Star Wars Easter eggs.
And thus, this guide was born.
Let’s dive in.
(Two badass ways to chat with Samuel L. Jackson…)
The Overview
Alexa & Star Wars
There are three ways that Star Wars fans can get their fix with their Amazon Alexa voice assistant:
1. Audiobooks: Audible has a massive collection of Star Wars audiobooks you can enjoy on Alexa (of course, many of these go beyond the canon).
2. Easter eggs: When prompted with specific voice commands, Alexa will reveal her hidden Star Wars savvy and deliver an on-point response. (These unexpected, unadvertised features are called "Easter eggs".)
3. Alexa Skills: Finally, you can enjoy a number of Star Wars Alexa skills (i.e., "apps" for Alexa) on your Echo devices, including trivia, jokes, and more.
Do I Need A Specific Alexa Device?
Nope! While it’s most common to use Alexa on an Amazon Echo smart speaker (like the Amazon Echo Dot or Echo Show), you can enjoy this Star Wars entertainment a la Alexa from any Alexa-enabled device.
This could be the Alexa app on your iPhone or Android or a 3rd-party product that has Alexa built-in (e.g., Sonos One speakers or FitBit Versa smartwatches).
