This reminds me of when a bunch of people threw a fit over Ahsoka Tano's costume for being just a tube top that showed off her mid-riff. Okay, since this gets into the topic of sexism, I'll play. There's been a lot of BS in the mass media lately with this topic, so I've had plenty of chances to examine the issue and come to an opinion on the matter.
And basically. . . it echoes this:
The Escapist : Video Galleries : The Big Picture : Gender Games
In short, the costume does not in and of itself make it sexist. The way in which the girl/woman wearing the costume is portrayed makes it sexist. So while Wilykit, Ahsoka and Cheetara may be showing off a lot of skin, they're not posing provocatively for the audience at home to drool over (if you're into that sort of thing). They're shown doing lots of other things OTHER than posing. Cheetara is attractive, but her role in the show is not defined by her being sexy and showing off lots of cleavage.
There is a ton of sexism out there, but I think that at least in the case of Wilykit, Cheetara and Ahsoka, we don't have to worry.
