I believe creating a category for just one minifigure is somewhat overkill.
|
Darth Revan - Minifig (sw0547) - has a category to themselves, so what would
the difference be in this case? Obviously Revan is a far more iconic and popular
character than Athex is, but I do not think that Catalog listings should
be determined by character/media popularity!

Correct.
| | In that case, "Star Wars Other" is perfectly fine as a category classification.
|
My criteria may differ from yours, but I personally consider "Star Wars Other"
to be the category for all items that do not appear in any official Star Wars
materials (be they Canon or Legends) - Generally things that LEGO just makes
up, such as the P2 Geonosis Clones, or the various Christmas-themed Minifigs.
As such, I do not think that this Minifig belongs in "Star Wars Other".
| | If you think it would be better in the "Star Wars Rogue One" category, I would accept that, as it seems this character is in league with Cassian Andor and K-2SO from Rogue One. Please let me know which one is "fine enough", although not "perfect".

Since he is already dead by the time of the events of R1, I do not think that
would work either. SotE is the only place where this character appears (for now,
at least). 😕
