I think having these kind of categories can lead to a slippery slope of just 'former [occupation]' categories which doesn't really seem needed. Currently with only one individual included in this, it would be more appropriate to just include Echo in the parent ARCs category. While we have former Jedi or Sith categories, those in my opinion are far more beneficial than categories like this or former clone captains or former senators for example as there are a significant number and just better suited for our categorising.

- Every ARC will eventually be a former ARC, if anything Ex-Insert Subject Here would probably work better, but I agree either way. MTrac1000 (talk) 21:25, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Kinda a thing per above in that we get into former senators, former [occupation]…and we never list (formerly) in infoboxes by affiliations because technically everything was "a long, long time ago" so its all formerly anyway. Having 'former' categories seems at odds with the infobox practice, and since the infobox practice seems sound in logic, isn't a reason to change that either.—spookywillowwtalk 21:26, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

- Yeah, virtually any occupation like ARCs is just not the same as former Jedi and Sith—they're significant because they usually mean the character explicitly rejected their role without necessarily being categorised in Category:Fallen Jedi or Category:Redeemed Force-sensitives.

- It could also mean a former rank, but that also makes sense. Thanks Lewisr! GormCyborg (talk) 01:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- Echo, like many clones was promoted to ARC trooper, so it's also a status symbol as an elite trooper.-StarWarsFan327 (talk) 15:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
