Star Wars - Return of the Jedi Poster

I'm back with a new image that's a bit special today. Ever since I was 8-10 years old, I've been a huge Star Wars fan, and the first 3 episodes released at the very beginning thrilled my childhood with both John Williams' incredible music and George Lucas' universe. Using AI, I wanted to be able to recreate a complete poster and finalise its layout in Photoshop. 

I succeeded when I saw the very promising result. I didn't use 3D images, but I did manipulate the Midjourney prompts to achieve a satisfactory result. I'll spare you the tests, which sometimes didn't give what I was looking for in the description. Using reference images allowed me to focus on certain aesthetic aspects, but even today, it's sometimes difficult to describe in precise detail what you want to achieve with a prompt and arrive at a decisive result.

Once I'd designed my main images using the excellent Midjourney, I got to work on Photoshop to make the scene coherent, sometimes with a fair amount of retouching. Below is a step-by-step video explaining each key moment in the editing process. Of course, I could have cut out all the layers and added them one by one in the video, but that would make it a bit too long (there are over a hundred layers!) Let's get down to basics!
