The Book Of Boba Fett: 10 Things You Missed

2. Willrow Hood's Legacy Lives On - Chapter 6

The sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was Star Wars fan-service in its purest form. We saw the return of Grogu, Ahsoka, Luke Skywalker, and Cobb Vanth. On top of that, we got a flashback of Order 66 and the live-action debut of Cad Bane.

Just when you thought this episode couldn't squeeze in any more nostalgia, the showrunners threw in a camtono container in the opening scene. To the untrained eye, this camtono looks like nothing special. But any true fan is aware of the deep and complex backstory behind this receptacle. Near the end of The Empire Strikes Back, the Imperial workers evacuate Cloud City after the Rebel forces take over. In one shot, a man called Willrow Hood can be spotted running while cradling a camtono.

Because most viewers didn't know who this guy was, he was slapped with moniker, Ice-Cream Guy, due to the fact his camtono resembled an ice-cream maker. Despite having no dialogue, Willrow developed a cult-following, which is why it was nice to see his container still popping up in Star Wars properties, even after 40 years.
