“Two Stormtroopers are playing rock-paper-scissors in a brightly lit corridor of an Imperial spaceship. They are focused and mid-gesture. Suddenly, a tall, dark figure in a black cape and helmet silently appears behind them, casting a long shadow. The Stormtroopers freeze, clearly startled — one almost drops his blaster. Cinematic lighting, subtle humor, realistic Star Wars aesthetic, detailed reflections on armor, tense yet amusing moment — in the style of a Star Wars short scene.”

“Two Stormtroopers are standing in a brightly lit corridor of an Imperial spaceship, playing rock-paper-scissors. They say in sync: ‘Rock... Paper... Scissors!’ as they throw their hands forward. They are serious and focused. Suddenly, a tall, dark figure in a black cape and helmet silently appears behind them, casting an ominous shadow. The Stormtroopers freeze mid-game, visibly startled. One flinches, the other awkwardly tries to hide his hand. Cinematic lighting, subtle humor, realistic Star Wars vibe, detailed sci-fi corridor, dramatic yet funny moment.”
