Star Wars fans, Amazon has just announced a new stand that can turn your Echo Dot into a centrepiece that will draw eyes to it as the Death Star does gravity.

The limited edition Star Wars Tie Fighter Echo Dot stand is made to hold your mini speaker as part of the final look of this Tie Fighter model.

The imperial fighter ship is finished in a silver and black outer with a spacer that turns the Dot light into a blue light-up section on the ship, adding to the cool.

What does the Tie Fighter Echo Dot stand do?

Essentially this is a plastic frame that holds your Echo Dot in a way that makes it look like a part of a Tie Fighter. That’s about it, for the stand itself.

However, Amazon has made sure to have Alexa ready to help out with some fun Star Wars features.

The company has shared a few choice phrases that will activate features including honing Jedi skills, completing Star Wars movie quotes and more. Here are a few you can try:

“Alexa, begin my Jedi training.”
This allows you to access nine different Jedi lessons to develop force skills.

“Alexa, give me a Star Wars fun fact.”
This allows you to gain access to less known Star Wars trivia that might just surprise even the most ardent fans.

“Alexa, use the Force.”
This one is going to be active from May 4 and will run during that month for some “fun interactions,” says Amazon.

“Alexa, tell me a Star Wars joke.”
For when you fancy a laugh but don’t want to stray too far from Tatooine.

When can I buy the Tie Fighter Echo Dot stand?

Star Wars fans can pre-order this now, in time for Star Wars Day on May 4.

How much does the Tie Fighter Echo Dot stand cost?

The Tie Fighter Echo Dot Stand alone will be priced at $59.99. If you don’t already own a Dot you can go for the Tie Fighter Echo Dot stand bundle which includes both for $97.98.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

Skullcandy is now part of Bose, but its bold identity isn’t going anywhere
Bold style, meet big sound. Skullcandy just joined the Bose family.
Skullcandy headphone man

If you own a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard Bose without realizing it. Now, the two companies are making things official. Bose has bought Skullcandy, the brand that made a name for itself with eye-catching headphones and a whole lot of attitude.

This deal didn’t come out of nowhere. For the past few years, Skullcandy has been packing Bose’s audio tech into its earbuds and headphones under the Sound by Bose label. That team-up worked so well that Bose decided to go all in and bring Skullcandy into the family.

Spotify app on Audi

I’ve sacrificed too many charging cables to my car’s USB port (even the braided ones). All so my playlist could follow me down the road.

Spotify just launched a fully native car app that runs on the car’s infotainment system, with no phone or cable required. However, it’s only available for Audi owners right now.
