Executor Bridge
Description:
The bounty hunter lineup on the bridge of the Executor is one of the most iconic scenes in the whole saga, and it is the subject for the debut entry in Bantha Skull's new feature, Scene It!

Here's the money shot. This is a BTS shot, as the full lineup isn't really featured in the film. The closest we come is the initial shot where you can kind of make out everyone in the background behind the communications officers in the pit below.
Piett commits a slight breach of etiquette, when he calls his guests "scum" without realizing that Bossk was standing right there. I don’t think Bossk stayed for dinner.
Bossk responds to Piett by saying something in his native language. As such, he joins Fett as the only members of the group with speaking lines.
4-LOM and Zuckuss. Or is it Zuckuss and 4-LOM? Kenner really screwed us up for life with their nonsense.
IG-88 stands there next to Boba Fett. He got PWNED by Fett a little while later on Cloud City, apparently.
Darth Vader tells Fett to cut the crap. He will not tolerate Fett's disintegration fetish. What a weirdo.

Notes:
1. This is a recreation of the money shot above. It is supplemented with Space Walls, a non Hasbro product, of course.
2. Here's a terrible POTF2 Admiral Piett looking up at Bossk's feet. It’s embarrasing that we have to display this figure.
3. Bossk is an awesome figure, even dating back to 2004.
4. 4-LOM and Zuckuss stand together. 4-LOM is perfectly represented on a TVC card. Zuckuss, another outstanding figure, was released just prior to the launch of TVC, and perhaps is a candidate for repack in the line.
5. IG-88 is another non-TVC figure that holds up well today. (Unless you try to engage the chest articulation and instead snap the head and right arm clean off.) Boba Fett exists in TVC, but badly needs an update.
6. We chose TBS #06 Vader, among several options. This one is good because unlike most other recent Vaders, he has a sharp looking non-removable helmet.
Action Figures/Items Used:
The following figures were used in the above photos. These figures represent what the Bantha Skull staff

Notes:
- Poor Dengar barely got any screen time. Good thing Hasbro made up for this by honoring him as VC01. Whatever!
- Did we mention that Boba Fett is in dire need of an update?
- We used Space Walls to add some depth the scene, even though they are obviously Death Star themed rather than Executor Bridge themed.
- An Executor Bridge environment piece would be awesome, Hasbro.
The Missing:
These are characters that belong in this scene for which Hasbro has never made a figure. These characters are all
featured in our Unproduced Character Guide which we
have affectionately nicknamed Missing In Action Figure or M.I.A.F. for short. Clicking
through on the following entries will bring you to the M.I.A.F. entry for that character.
Though all of the figures from this scene are available as action figures, the Boba Fett figure is no longer considered definitive and is in need of upgrade. So while the scene is complete, it is not definitive.
