The very second I saw that, the first thought that came to mind was, "Holy @#$%, that's like...white supremacy stuff!"
It's troubling how it evokes the "don't tread on me" motif but also it evokes the Imperial symbol, even though it's not. And it's sitting on Asajj Ventriss, someone who we know is pretty negative, evil, and prone to join genocidal, evil, and authoritarian causes.
This is a character we need to be careful with. Self-actualization doesn't redeem her. Actual redemption would require...well, someone other than Dave Filoni at the helm, probably. But very, very serious sacrifice and change, real apologies, real amends, not simply a slight change of character.
We can have sympathy for anyone. But we need to start exercising a little more discretion in who we grant empathy to. No amount of empathy helps the 65,000 women raped and made pregnant since the end of Roe v Wade. No amount of empathy will bring back the migrants who died to razor-wire and murder buoys. It's past-tense. It happened. Too often these cartoon, make-believe, imperfect villains are an excuse for us to turn our eyes away from real-world villainy. "Everyone has a reason!" "They can be saved!" It lets us look to a possible cartoon future so we don't have to acknowledge a shameful reality.
I don't think the women forced to carry their rapist's baby care all that much that Asajj Ventriss might one day be redeemed.
And yes, this does all go back to the snake symbol on her arm.
"Don't tread on me."
By all means; consume next product. Get excited for next product, etc.
Now, they intend to destroy Asajj. Nope. Not participating in that. Asajj died. She did not come back to life. That is her story.
