Gentle Giant Studios is recognized by the film industry as the leader in cutting-edge technology of three-dimensional scanning. The data generated by 3-D scanning of characters on the set is utilized not only in the creation of digital models for a film's special effects -- the Gentle Giant team also uses the data to produce prototypes of statues and other 3-D licensed products. Among the films Gentle Giant has worked on are Planet of the Apes, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Spider-Man, The Matrix: Reloaded, and Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

Being on location scanning actors, models, costumes, and props to create a digital library for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones led Gentle Giant to seek a Star Wars license for a line of mini-busts. To assure 100% realism, Gentle Giant scanned the actors, costumes, and props from Attack of the Clones, making these statues the closest one can come to owning a piece of the Star Wars universe.
