There is no continuity problem here. Dengar is always at the left side of IG88 (check out the first shot of the scene from the Pit point of view). Its all to do with the angles of the camera in each shot. If you look closely you will see that you wouldn't see Dengar in the close up shots featuring Boba Fett and when Vader walks down the stairs Dengar is again in shot in the correct position.

Also this scene isn't meant to be set on the bridge. That's why they closed off the window and why i won't be adding the control room to the shot after vader walks down the stairs so it remains a corridor. Nothing to do here (apart from the impossible continuity error of Piette magically appearing at the end of the pit which is impossible to fix)

Some intereresting answers once again Adywan, thanks for those.

And thanks especially for making my day where my confusion about that 'Dengar / IG-88 / Boba Fett' positioning was concerned! All these years, my eyes have determinedly looked on that cut as going from seeing the front of IG-88 and Boba Fett saying "As you wish", as he turned a little to watch Vader pass....to then immediately going BEHIND him (and IG-88 ) in'close-up' in the very next shot, as he CONTINUED to turn and watch Vader.... (which threw up all the continuity issues for me that I mentioned previously)

But I was so wrong thankfully. :)

Now that you've pointed it out, it's bleeding obvious that we actually cut from seeing the front of IG-88 and Boba Fett, to then immediately MOVING ALONG TO THE LEFT A LITTLE, so that we see in-between Dengar and IG-88 in 'close-up' from THE FRONT instead! So we wouldn't see IG-88's gun after all, as it's 'offscreen' in this shot, and all is well with the background now too! Amazing how this played tricks with me over so many viewings, and I think that the continuous 'turning' of Boba Fett, then Dengar, combined to fool me into believing it was intended to be Boba Fett in BOTH shots....

My brain just wouldn't register it any other way, so thanks for putting me right, as I can really enjoy this shot from now on, knowing it's correct after all. And there was me thinking that this one was probably way too tricky even for you, LOL!

As far as that other reply that I've quoted above - yes, I'd noticed that sudden jump in Piett's position between shots too, but under the circumstances at the time, that just faded into insignificance compared to how much I previously (wrongly) believed that Boba Fett / IG-88 shot was messed up! Man, I love this scene now. :)

But I'm uncertain if when you mention the 'window' in this answer, if you are meaning the potential 'starfield window' that vaderios referred to, that could be added at the back of the 'alcove' behind where Zuchuss is standing? Aren't the 'Bounty Hunters' just inside the start of the Bridge in these shots, with Zuchuss in front of the one directly opposite the one where Vader looks out near the end?

No worries if you're too busy to clafify for a while.
