Google is Eric Falkgiving its Assistant some new powers in the name of Star Warsfandom.

The company's marking this year's May 4th festivities by adding new movie ticket-purchasing powers to its Assistant just in time to for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Oh, it can also speak like Yoda.

Unfortunately, Google Assistant can't speak like Yoda whilebuying your movie tickets, but, it's still a pretty great Easter egg.

If you do want to use its new movie ticket-buying powers, though, all you have to do is say, "Hey Google, let’s buy movie tickets." The Assistant will then guide you through the process in both its app and on Google Home. (This isn't just limited to Solo, by the way, thanks to a partnership with Fandango you can buy tickets for non-Star Warsflicks too.)
