This is Willrow Hood.

He's an extra appearing towards the end of The Empire Strikes Back, evacuating Cloud City while carrying an ice cream maker a data core. He has approximately one second of screentime.

He has an action figure, which includes a blaster and an ice cream maker a data core.

He has his own card in the Star Wars CCG.

He has a backstory.

Fans dress up as Willrow Hood at conventions and run through them carrying ice cream makers data cores.

Now you know about Willrow Hood.

The title is so boring I can't bear to even read your post, fearing it may literally bore me to my death. I wonder if it was on purpose.

I think the title was just fine.

In fact, this topic has incredibly valuable information. I had never heard of Willrow Hood, and I'm glad that I know about him now!

I think if I attended a sci-fi convention, and I correctly identified a Willrow Hood cosplayer, I'd feel really cool for like a minute, and then suffer severe existential horror for the next decade or so. 'What the hell is wrong with me. I know who Willrow Hood is, but could I name my local congressman with a dumb Star Wars lazer-gun to my head.'

^^You should have a more corrupt congressman; that's how I remember my current & previous one's names.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

We've chosen to specialise in terrible senators and governors, here.
