Aug 21, 2016 at 15:27 comment added OCDev It's because the same actors are being used as stormtroopers in every scene and the producers needed to keep their faces masked to make this less apparent.

Aug 19, 2016 at 14:40 comment added Thomas Jacobs Because the scene where Rey frees herself would've been entirely different if we had seein it was Daniel Craig who was guarding her.
Aug 19, 2016 at 7:43 comment added Turion @Law29, my thought exactly. It's a relict from the clone wars when it would be unhelpful to awkward if they took their helmets off and all still looked the same.

Aug 18, 2016 at 23:03 comment added Solomon Slow Jeremy French said it best: "...faceless goon..." It's not just a helmet: It's a mask. It hides their identity. It denies their victims the opportunity to see them as individuals. It denies them the opportunity to see one another as individuals. They're just appendages of the empire. Might as well be droids.
Aug 18, 2016 at 21:09 comment added Harry Johnston One factor may be the risk of explosive decompression, which is constant possibility in space. You really want at least those soldiers who are on duty to not be disadvantaged by being suddenly unable to breathe. I'd hazard a guess that they don't actually wear them while sleeping, but they probably keep them close at hand.
