As revealed by the trailer for the third season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, fan-favorite character Asajj Ventress is making a surprise return. In her brief appearance, fans immediately noted that she would be sporting a different hair on her mysterious comeback.
While fans have been excited about the character's return in the upcoming season, it also poses a huge question on why they have decided to bring her back even though she already died in the show's timeline.
Her different look also adds to the question surrounding her return and some fans are seeing it as a clue on what the character's surprise comeback in the series may signify.
As the Star Wars Holocron fan page pointed out, Asajj's grown-out hair is meant to represent her distance from the Sith while her shaved head look indicates her loyalty to the Sith.
