Too bad the footage from the old Star Wars Interactive Video Board Game only exists in VHS quality, as there’s plenty of shots of Vader at a communications console. He could probably take the call from Fett while in his pod though.

I agree it would be in the pod. The screen makes more sense its communication to the bridge of the executor. Or it could be between other ships. But, that scene COULD be used in this way. If there was to be a bit of an overhaul, one idea would be to build two sets. One that is the inside of the pod and the other a hallway in Jabbas palace. The main issue is the very few lines for Fett. So I came up with this idea

FETT IS WALKING DOWN HALLWAY IN PALACE. STOPS, BRIEFLY LOOKS AROUND AND OPENS A COMMUNICATOR. SCENE THEN CUTS TO EXECUTOR. THEN CUTS TO INSIDE OF VADER’S POD

VADER: Yes, Bounty Hunter? SCENE CUTS TO VADER’S PERSPECTIVE LOOKING AT HOLO OF FETT IN POD.

FETT (DISTRORTED): Skywalker is here.

VADER: Good. I want him alive.

FETT (DISTORTED): As you wish. ENDS TRANSMISSION

The rest of the scene could be the pod opening and reusing the scene you listed above for the video screen and having some lines between Vader and an officer about sending a fleet/shuttle/ship what ever to Tatooine.

Later on after the heroes escape, a scene with a holo of that office or a trooper commander can inform Vader that the palace is empty and no sign of skywaylker. It could end with a person in a vader suit just ends the communication, pauses, and walks off to end scene. Or he can choke the trooper/officer via the holo.
