==Biography==
Amuncie Tidian was a Boosodian from the Inner Rim celestial bodyStar Wars Galaxy Map Boosodia. During the war between the First Order and the Resistance, he who worked as a forger in the Thieves' Quarter of Kijimi City on the planet Kijimi and was associated with the Spice Runners of Kijimi based there.
During the First Order's occupation of Kijimi in 35 ABY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of to 35 ABY. Tidian tried to avoid attracting attention to himself due to the illegal nature of his work. He went into hiding whenever the new authorities were nearby, but exited a building within the Thieves' Quarter while a spotlight was being shone upon the building's door. Tidian called out and then looked around, not seeing the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, who was hidden nearby, but spotting a First Order patrol attempting to enter a neighboring building. Seeing the First Order caused him to call out in alarm and retreat back to within the building, closing the door behind him. Shortly after Tidian retreated into the building, the First Order evacuated its personnel from Kijimi before the planet was destroyed by the Sith Eternal. There was good reason to believe that Tidian perished in the blast.
==Personality and traits==
As a Boosodian, Amuncie Tidian's twenty eyes provided a major advantage in his activities and meant he was well equipped to work as a forger. With concentration he could focus clusters of his eyes on specific portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including X-rays and, with a large amount of effort, radio waves. Not long before Kijimi was destroyed, he and some others had become convinced that he was able to see the future, crediting his supposed ability to a non-existent extra eye. Tidian had gray skin and white eyes.
==Equipment==
Tidian wore a black insulated environment suit and black boots.
==Behind the scenes==
Amuncie Tidian was portrayed by Nick Kellington
in the 2019 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. He was first identified simultaneously in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo, and a card in the 2019 Topps Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Series 1 trading card set by The Topps Company, Inc.
Tidian was originally designed to be an alien that had seen the ten thousand Star Destroyers of the Sith Eternal's fleet, the Final Order, and reported it back to the Resistance. Looking haunted was an integral part of the original brief for the character and creature concept designer and senior sculptor Martin Rezard gave the character many eyes so that viewers would question if he had really seen that many ships or whether his number of eyes had caused him to see more.
Rezard's concept art was titled "Haunted Alien," with Calum Alexander Watt also creating a costume concept. Adrian Parish and Claire Roi Harvey, who were both credited as creature performers and creature puppeteers, and CFX paint finish design supervisor Henrik Svensson also worked on the character. The Tidian mask included twenty eyes, each with four way movement and skin around them that was mechanised to drag and create a ripple effect. The script of the film evolved to not include the character as originally imagined, with the character Boolio instead delivering similar information to the Resistance. However, director J.J. Abrams took a liking to Rezard's design and promised to use it elsewhere, using the character as an extra on Kijimi in the final version.
