This storyboard explores the prompt โ€œa stormtrooper loses his job,โ€ reimagined through a character-driven narrative of empathy and self-discovery. Deemed โ€œtoo kindโ€ to serve the Empire, the protagonist is cast out and ultimately finds belonging and purpose within the Rebel Alliance. The sequence follows his quiet transformation from obedient soldier to self-directed individual, using visual storytelling to communicate emotion, pacing, and change without reliance on dialogue.

The project emphasizes carefully planned compositions and fully realized grayscale values to establish mood, depth, and clarity across each panel. Lighting, contrast, and framing are used intentionally to guide the viewerโ€™s eye and reinforce the emotional arc of the story, demonstrating a strong understanding of cinematic sequencing and tonal control.
