Nar Hida hailed from Luptoom , where he lived with his wife and daughter . Looking for a challenging enterprise to pursue , Hida and his family relocated to the galactic capital of Coruscant during the Separatist Crisis , which threatened the stability of the Galactic Republic . There , Hida opened a boutique that specialized in fashions from his homeworld , but within a year , he was forced to close the store due to poor sales . He made several business deals with the Baath brothers , but the deals only lost Hida more and more money , until he and his family were destitute . He intended to return to Luptoom somehow , but the political climate of the time made leaving the galactic capital difficult . The " Jendirian Valley " . With the last of his funds , Hida was able to secure passage for his family and himself aboard the AA - 9 Coruscant freighter " Jendirian Valley " . The craft was the only one departing Coruscant that was not already packed to the brim with other refugees , but it was only traveling halfway to Luptoom , as Hida discovered . This worried Hida , as he and his family would be left stranded and broke by the time the " Jendirian Valley " had finished its journey . When the freighter entered hyperspace , the Luptoomian grew more and more desperate . Although he had never entered into criminal acts before in his life , he began to consider doing something drastic to turn his fortune around . Presented with the opportunity of robbing a sleeping Bith passenger on the " Jendirian Valley " , Hida only hesitated momentarily . As he moved to do the deed , he was grabbed on the arm by a young man and pulled aside . The man was actually the disguised Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker , who was traveling from Coruscant incognito . He told Hida that the Bith was carrying a hidden blaster pistol , and would have surely used it had the Luptoomian been allowed to follow through on his intended course of action . Hida was reluctant to believe the man , but was convinced by Skywalker ' s companion , who was in fact Senator Padmé Amidala , also in disguise . She told him to trust Skywalker , as the young Jedi had the power to see things before they happened . Amidala then donated some credits to Hida and instructed him to contact the Refugee Relief Movement on the world of Naboo , where the freighter would be stopping . Upon reaching the planet , Hida did as Amidala had told him , and the movement arranged for he and his family to be relocated to Luptoom . Success . Back on Luptoom , Hida was able to build himself up out of poverty and turn his fortunes around . When the Clone Wars broke out later in 22 BBY , Hida continually donated to the Refugee Relief Movement , as he was inspired by the young couple that had helped him on the " Jendirian Valley " . Personality and traits . Nar Hida would never balk at the prospect of a challenge , but his enthusiasm in tackling the Luptoomian boutique in particular cost him dearly . He and his family were forced to live in poverty due to his business decisions and associations , and he was only able to alter his situation by relying on the kindness of others . In a moment of desperation , his mind turned to crime , and he would have committed robbery had he not been stopped by Skywalker . The kindness of the Jedi and Amidala would later inspire Hida to help people that found themselves in the position he had been in during the Separatist Crisis . Behind the scenes . The character of Nar Hida originally appeared as an unnamed extra in George Lucas ' , in the scenes aboard the " Jendirian Valley " . In 2006 , the character was named and expounded upon by Gregory Walker ( writing as " NarbFlick " ) through the StarWars . com feature " What ' s The Story ? " In writing his winning Databank entry , Walker tied the character to the Baath brothers , who originated in 2003 ' s " " and had been used by Walker in his two previous winning " What ' s The Story ? " entries , Magaloof and Acros - Krik . Unintentionally , a theme of criminality ran through Walker ' s winning " What ' s The Story ? " entries , to varying degrees , with Hida , his final one , being the more noble of the three . He also created entirely new characters in Hida ' s unnamed daughter and wife . Walker was able to introduce other new elements to canon in writing about Hida , such as the planet Luptoom , which was later referenced in Nathan O ' Keefe ' s " What ' s The Story ? " entry for Teyora Rekab . Originally , Walker had intended to have Hida attempt to rob Amidala and end up wounded by Skywalker , but he felt that Skywalker ' s dark side had been shown too much in previous " Star Wars " material , and was almost cliched . Instead he chose to have Hida rob a Bith passenger , but had originally included a segment of dialogue in his entry to augment the tale . The dialogue was eventually cut out by StarWars . com editors , to Walker ' s relief — he had felt that in straying from the standard Databank format , his entry would be disqualified . As such , he was surprised when it was chosen , and was happy with the compromise made by the StarWars . com staff .
