I'm just rewatching the first series of the Mandalorian, and have got to the bit when he's liberating Grogu. I'm left marvelling again at stormtrooper armour. What is it for? It offers no protection against lazer bolts or flamethrowers, electric shocks or punches. I suspect even mild tickling could be fatal for the unlucky stormtrooper...

Stormtrooper armour is another element of the Tarkin Doctrine, like Star Destroyers and the Death Star.

It's just designed to intimidate the populace to the extent that they never dare to fight back.

This intimidation element is particularly important as if anyone does fight back they realise that all three of the tings I've named are bloody useless in a fight!

I’ve never understood how stormtroopers can see anything through the visors. No wonder they can’t shoot straight or bump into things. Applies to Mandalorians too….. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mandalorian helmets have a whole range of tech built in the enhance the sensory input for the wearer. They’re supposed to have targeting facilities and all sorts. The first gen of clone helmets had similar but I think it was downgraded as more clones were grown and costs rose.
