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.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
