Prompt:
At night, an Imperial-style speeder bike hovers silently in a narrow, refuse-filled alien alley, bathed in flickering neon light. The vehicle is unmistakably military-grade — sleek, angular, and gleaming, freshly polished against the backdrop of decay. Inspired by the scout bikes from Return of the Jedi, it features exposed mechanical detail, long steering vanes, vented repulsorlift housing, and twin blaster cannons slung beneath the frame. It hovers just inches above the cracked pavement, emitting a soft underglow.
The alley is grimy and narrow, walled in by damp, industrial surfaces—concrete, rusted metal, and vent-scarred brick. Trash and debris scatter the ground: tangled wires, dented food cartridges, worn-out cybernetic limbs, and shattered glass. Alien graffiti glows faintly from the walls. A leaking coolant pipe drips from above. Pools of neon-pink and green light shimmer across puddles, reflecting from broken signs.
At the far end of the alley, the city glows—neon signs in indecipherable alien script hang above the entrance to a busy street. Through the haze, silhouetted figures pass by: robed merchants, hunched travelers, a quadruped in a harness. A haze of smoke and fog catches colored light, creating cinematic diffusion and depth.
Strong emphasis on high contrast and wet reflective surfaces. Fluorescent lighting, blue and magenta spill. Gritty, photoreal sci-fi style in the spirit of Syd Mead and Ian McQue. Speeder design faithful to Star Wars canon — no cyberpunk mods or redesigns.
16:9 aspect ratio, wide-angle lens. Low camera angle with forced perspective; speeder bike dominates the foreground, hovering slightly to one side. Alley walls and signage converge toward the opening in the background. Night sky hidden by vertical sprawl. Ambient noise implied by visual clutter and light bloom.
