I can't believe I just noticed this, but is that Zuckuss at the right of the screencap? If it is, then that's two bounty hunters in this scene!

It is actually the Zuckuss head on a 2-1B body.

Um, why???

Zuckuss isn't a droid, so WTF?

Because its just a movie. They needed props so they cannibalised existing ones to make new ones. A Zuckuss head on a 2-1B body looks like a new robot when it just goes by in the background. Thats why IG-88 is grey--its not IG-88. IG-88 is black, but thats one's grey, its supposed to be a different droid, thats why its at Bespin and painted different, they just re-used the props so they wouldn't have to fabricate new ones from scratch. EU writers couldn't resist turning it into a highly contrived story point because EU has such little room to go that they have to latch onto every petty detail in the film and enlarge into something it clearly was never meant to be.

I think this should be left alone. Its not IG-88. And even if it was black, I'm sure that in scrap yards around the galaxy there are droids that are the same model as him rotting around. Thats kind of the justification.
