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.

Google is reportedly developing a new Google TV Streamer, and this time, the biggest upgrades could be about making your television more useful without reaching for the remote every few minutes. The upcoming device is expected to add built-in microphones for hands-free Google Assistant commands, presence sensing, a faster processor, and more storage.

According to a report by 9to5Google, the next-generation streamer will retain the current model’s familiar design, although its body will be slightly narrower. There is no confirmed launch date or pricing yet, so anyone waiting for an upgrade will have to hold on a little longer.

Galaxy Studio could be Samsung’s biggest audio comeback in 11 years
Samsung has spent 11 years away from over-ear headphones. Galaxy Studio may end the drought
Samsung Level Over inside white

Samsung has spent more than a decade making Galaxy earbuds, but its audio lineup had a very clear gap. The company doesn't make any proper pair of over-the-ear headphones. Though this hole might be filled soon.

Android developer and leaker @evowizz says Samsung’s upcoming over-ear headphones could launch as Galaxy Studio. The name carries a little more weight than your average leak because Samsung filed a US trademark application for GALAXY STUDIO on September 14, specifically covering headphones, headsets, and earbuds.
