As far as AI work goes, I plugged stills from the movie into Midjourney with the prompt describing the image that was seen, then went through several iterations of what it thought I was talking about. (this is in "niji" mode so it will always produce anime.) I had to specify, the lighting in the foreground, the background, the highlighting, the ambient light, the brightness of each character, anakin's changing eyes, and their emotions. After I described all of that, it gave me the return image and I repeated the process again, having to curate all of the images to find a set that all resembled each other in style. Finding two similar Anakin shots was very, very difficult. Finally, I cropped them both and touched them up a little bit in photoshop, adding a few lighting and subtle effects here and there, then cropped them again on imgflip to make a manga comic.
AI art is not lazy; AI art is an endeavor unto itself.
