4Well, Finn taking off his helmet is also a tiny bit influenced by the necessity of the viewer connecting with the character. Even before he takes of the helmet, he is conveniently "marked" with blood smears so we can tell him apart from the others. ;-)DevSolar– DevSolar2016-08-19 12:34:31 +00:00Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 12:34

In addition to unrecognizability, you are also unable to see their face or emotions, perhaps leading one to think they are an emotionless killing machine or the like.user151841– user1518412016-08-19 15:29:09 +00:00Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 15:29

1Inability for their enemies to see them as human also lets their enemies kill them without remorse. Since the rebels just see a row of helmets, they have no emotional qualms about killing them all, while the stormtroopers are forced to look into the unmasked rebels' eyes as they shoot them. Psychologically, this is a design flaw in the 'deindividuation' strategy, and it is just one more reason that, inherently, star wars is just, kinda dumb.GreySage– GreySage2016-08-19 22:00:33 +00:00Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 22:00

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
