Patrick CotnoirHOST
Yep.
Patrick CotnoirHOST
IG-88.
Brian LynchHOST
And, uh, the Gremlins.
Patrick CotnoirHOST
Yep.
JohnHOST
That was how a lot of these boss battles were for me.
JohnHOST
A lot of people talked about IG-88 in the Ord Mantell Junkyard, and that was cool, but I killed him immediately.
JohnHOST
And then Boba Fett took like, I was like, I'm going through it, this is kind of fun.
JohnHOST
There's ship battles, there's swoop races.
8 MINS LATER
JohnHOST
But here, you know, they're fighting with their weapons, which is nice.
EvanHOST
Yeah.
JohnHOST
And then Boba and IG-88, which I'll say real quick, I believe this, I remember reading in the Steve Sansweet book in the late 90s that this Vader was repacked in the Power of the Force mainline card as well.
JohnHOST
I don't remember if that's, the case but that's what they said um she's always unique from the other figure and then we got boba fett and ig88 and the ultimate battle of bounty hunters which also does not really appear but in the in the comic at the beginning of the comic there's a dog fight between the ig2000 and the slave one and uh that's why boba has to go get repairs on gall because he gets kind of messed up
David ModdersHOST
But-
Rob SawyerGUEST
Oh, I thought you were gonna say the IG-88 that I restored, so, uh, that sucks.
David ModdersHOST
Oh, my, well, well-
Rob SawyerGUEST
I got excited for a second.
Aaron HarrisHOST
... cup of tea right here, my friend, so.
Rob SawyerGUEST
Yeah.
Rob SawyerGUEST
Now, the IG-88 is in the other room.
Aaron HarrisHOST
Sure.
Hunter DonaldsonHOST
Yeah, that, that-
Jamie CarboneHOST
I'll have you know that I found a way to cheese IG-88 early on.
Hunter DonaldsonHOST
Yeah.
Aaron HaarlemanHOST
Well, I died a lot.
Jamie CarboneHOST
Now Bo- now Boba Fett, there was the problem.
Hunter DonaldsonHOST
Yeah, Boba Fett, uh-
Jamie CarboneHOST
But IG-88, IG-88 was not my stopgap.
Jamie CarboneHOST
Boba Fett, and particularly Slave 1 was the real issue.
VernHOST
Yep.
VernHOST
IG-88 wasn't in that.
VernHOST
Well, he was in the
JohnHOST
cantina, his head was.
JohnHOST
yeah.
JohnHOST
I feel like I definitely don't need a Luke.
JohnHOST
X-Wing or an IG-88 or an Anakin again.
JohnHOST
Isn't he updated? IG-88
TrentHOST
We're getting a new version of the pilot, X-Wing pilot Luke, which funnily enough was the very first Luke we got back in the day when Black Series was launched.
TrentHOST
IG-88, a totally new, a lot of new parts for that one.
TrentHOST
And Tesic, which is very exciting for me.
TrentHOST
He's one of the original 88 figures released.

BenHOST
I've recently got my hands on a couple of vintage Star Wars figures, namely the Bounty Hunters and Darth Vader, but it's only half the Bounty Hunters.
BenHOST
So I'm looking for a couple of weapons to finish off the, you know, to arm up the existing Bounty Hunters that I've got, and I'm looking for Forlom, Zuckuss, and IG-88, which I'm sure...
BenHOST
They'll be there.
PhilHOST
with CAD? I mean, you can slam bounty hunters in there, and I think there's definitely a place for that.
PhilHOST
He's probably IG-88's best home.
PhilHOST
Yeah.
PhilHOST
I've always personally been a fan of Cad Bane with droids because he can bring Kalani B2s.
TedHOST
And he'll give you all kinds of like smuggling, assassination, prisoner retrieval, sabotage, spice transport, all kinds of stuff.
TedHOST
You'll meet Bosk, Dengar, IG-88, Zuckuss, and Forlom, all the Empire Strikes Back ones at some point or another in some fashion, whether it's playable or you just have a conversation with them in a cutscene, something like that.
TedHOST
Other characters I'm playing with, Black Korsantan, Embo.
Lauren BeamerHOST
You just caught Bren's spy.
MattHOST
If I had to pick a droid for my specific example, it would be either, well, depending on what era you're in, Forlom, you know, which is the 3PO unit with the bug head, which back in the day was Zuckus because they changed the names during the 90s, early 80s.
MattHOST
Or IG-88, though.
MattHOST
There's so much convoluted stuff with IG-88.
MattHOST
I'm going to stick with Forlom because
DerekHOST
I
5 MINS LATER
DerekHOST
So I'm like, okay, well, I'll get Bosk.
DerekHOST
Well, now I have Boba Fett and Bosk.
DerekHOST
Well, IG-88's pretty cool, so I'll get him.
Andy LarsonHOST
I don't know.
Andy LarsonHOST
It had, like, some cool spinoffs where, like, R2-D2 teams up with, like, IG-88 and LOM4, and, like, they create a team, shrugs.
Andy LarsonHOST
He wants the force.
Andy LarsonHOST
It eventually wants to take over Darth Vader because he's a cyborg.
