Spotify tells you which Star Wars character you are based on music taste

Not to boast, but Gigwise, apparently, is Yoda

We're not going to accuse Spotify of jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon - that would be truly cynical. Perhaps they're just very excited, as its release date approaches, at the prospect of The Force Awakens. So naturally, they've created an app which - for some reason - tells you which Star Wars character you are, based on your music taste.

'How could my music taste have anything to do with whether I'm a Jedi Knight or not?', you may be wondering. Well, tenuously, is the honest answer. It analyses which genres you're most fond of, and pairs you up with a suitable character.

Gigwise, for example, is apparently "21% experimental, 14% ambient and 11% progressive", and thus - obviously - was paired with Yoda, and given a playlist that includes the likes of Jon Hopkins, Helios and Nils Frahm.

Not that you can really do any better than Yoda - but see what Star Wars character Spotify thinks you are here.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrives in cinemas at one minute past midnight tonight. So far, the reviews have been glowing.
