Tomorrow is Star Wars Day--May 4--and Amazon is punching the hyperdrive. Whether you’re of clan Mandalore, friendly with the First Order, or dream of Darth Vader, the latest Echo Dot accessory likely deserves a spot in your home.
These unique stands will not only reflect the natural glow of the smart speaker for a special effect but come in three styles: The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal stans will be pleased), a Stormtrooper, and Darth Vader himself.
All cost $39.99 for the stand or bundled with an Echo Dot (5th Gen) for $69.98 with a street date of May 4, 2023 from Amazon (AMZN).

Star Wars Stands for Echo Dot: The Mandalorian, Darth Vader, or Stormtrooper ($39.99 at Amazon)
Not only acting as a stand for the 4th or 5th Gen Echo Dot and decking it out in a Star Wars theme, these stands also unlock an effect with the LED indicator of the smart speaker itself.
The usual glow of the LED lights of the Echo Dot will now shine through the eyes and visor of Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, or the Mandalorian. If you want an evil-ish vibe, you can mute the microphone on the Echo Dot for a red glow. Otherwise, when Alexa listens, it will shine blue and a standard green for notifications.
More so than extra functionality, this is a statement piece that will likely steal the heart of any Star Wars fan. If you already have an Echo Dot (4th or 5th Gen), the cost is $39.99 for the stand and your character choice.
You can save a bit by bundling the stand with a 5th Gen Echo. Separately a stand and the Dot would cost $89.98, but you can save $20 and get them both for just $69.96 at Amazon.
