Amazon’s Alexa jumps on the ‘make fun of Jar Jar Binks’ bandwagon
Do you have an Amazon Echo? If so, then you may be in for an unpleasant surprise, if you ask it “Alexa, who is your favorite Star Wars character?” Alexa may tell you that her favorite character is Jar Jar Binks, but you shouldn’t get too excited, because she’ll quickly add that she’s just kidding, and that her real favorite character is R2-D2.
Video of one such exchange can be viewed here:
As our favorite Gungan might say “How Wude!”
The Amazon Echo also has a number of other, less Jar Jar insulting, Star Wars related commands that you can try for more Star War related fun, including:
“Alexa, tell me a Star Wars joke.”
“Alexa, play the Star Wars Extravaganza playlist from Amazon Music.”
“Alexa, name all of the Star Wars movies.”
“Alexa, aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
“Alexa, come to the dark side.”
“Alexa, I am your father.”
“Alexa, I have a bad feeling about this.”
