Cid Rushing, whose wife and children were captured by Trade Federation forces, was one of Captain Quarsh Panaka's Security Officers during the Invasion of Naboo. A corporal in the Royal Naboo Security Forces, Rushing was charged with the protection of Queen Padmé Amidala's Throne Room, and was among the security personnel who participated in the resistance to the Trade Federation.
Behind the scenes[]
Rushing was portrayed by Roman Coppola in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[1] His first name was based on a recurring character name in the Japanese role-playing game franchise Final Fantasy, as a response to the Final Fantasy franchise naming several of their characters after characters from Star Wars (in particular, the characters Biggs and Wedge, who were named after Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antilles, respectively).[2]
