It’s an unofficial holiday for the Star Wars fandom. May the 4th is a time to celebrate the joy we’ve experienced from everything Star Wars. From Lego sets to phone cases, brands celebrate the day by offering great deals on Star Wars merch. Amazon isn’t sitting out on the fun this May the 4th.
The Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker now comes with several Star Wars-themed cases, like The Mandalorian Helmet stand and the irresistible Echo Dot Grogu stand. But the Alexa-enabled fun doesn’t stop at Star Wars stands.
It turns out, Alexa loves to chat with inquiring minds about Star Wars. Of course, you can ask Alexa questions about any film in the collection, but you can also use secret commands to get fun Star Wars-themed replies from Alexa.
Here are 12 Star Wars commands to try with Alexa to celebrate May the 4th.
“Alexa, begin my Jedi lessons.”
Alexa must have a special connection to the fictional galaxy because she has nine mini Jedi lessons to share. Like a regular fitness routine, becoming a Jedi takes practice, and Alexa is happy to assist.
“Alexa, teach me a Jedi mind trick.”
We all know Alexa has brains, but ask her to teach you a Jedi mind trick, and you’ll be in line for using these highly intelligent tricks in everyday life here on Earth.
“Alexa, use the Force.”
Can Alexa access the power of the force? Ask her to find out! Ask her again, and you might get a second fun reply.

“Alexa, do, or do not.”
Ask this command to hear her finish off the Master Yoda quote we all love from The Empire Strikes Back. Alexa can also finish your other favorite quotes from the franchise when prompted.
“Alexa, talk like Yoda.”
This one is self-explanatory and one of the most entertaining of them all. Somehow, hearing Alexa speak in Yoda’s non-traditional syntax is enlightening. You can also ask Alexa to talk like other characters, including Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and more.
“Alexa, I am your father.”
Is it possible that you could be Alexa’s father? Ask her to find out.
“Alexa, tell me a Star Wars joke.”
Alexa is full of jokes on plenty of topics, and her Star Wars joke knowledge is something impressive. Take mental note of your favorites to impress friends.
“Alexa, who shot first?”
This is one of Alexa’s best Star Wars Easter eggs, taking us all the way back to the 1977 film Star Wars: A New Hope. Alexa can set the record straight for us.
“Alexa, show me Star Wars movies.”
If you have a Fire Stick or a Fire-enabled TV, asking Alexa to show you a movie from the franchise will direct you to the entire selection of streaming options.
“Alexa, tell me a Baby Yoda joke.”
As if things could get cuter than Baby Yoda, Alexa has a small selection of Baby Yoda-themed jokes on hand for chuckles.
“Alexa, play me the Star Wars soundtrack.”
Not feeling in the mood for a Star Wars movie marathon? Or maybe you’re at work and can’t watch right now. No worries because Alexa can take you directly to a Star Wars soundtrack to delight your ears.
“Alexa, may the Force be with you.”
It’s the perfect day to wish Alexa the power of the force. She’ll reward you with the same.
