Varför bytte stormtrooper hjälmarna från t-visiret till de krökta ögonkontakterna?

Det accepterade svaret i de universella svaren på de ursprungliga mönstren är obekväma på grund av Kaminoans obekvämhet med mänsklig ergonomi. Det är mycket mindre intressant enligt min åsikt än den förklaring som bränner det.

Enligt StarWars.com-databasen (som dras från Vägen tillbaka maskin i juli 2011):

The titular clone troopers of Episode II were designed to strongly hint at their eventual evolution into the Empire's stormtrooper ranks. As envisioned by creator George Lucas, the prequel trilogy would showcase the evolution of fighting forces, starting with battle droids that were clearly flawed. The clone troopers were the next step in the evolution, and Concept Artist Jay Shuster worked on the armor designs. "It follows the formula for a lot of the prequel trilogy," says Shuster. "Take something pre-conceived in the existing trilogy and de-generate it."

That Boba Fett's armor had some connection to the stormtrooper pedigree had long been a vague assertion in Star Wars lore. Design Director Doug Chiang's concept art focused on this connection, melding features of both armors into the finished clone trooper design. R. Kim Smith and Michael Patrick Murnane built a concept model of the clone trooper which implied that this first generation armor was thicker and bulkier than the lighter armor worm by the stormtroopers. This design concept was carried through by the Episode III Art Department, that further progressed the look of the clone troopers closer to the stormtroopers of the original trilogy, including variant designs that gave obvious nods to the sandtrooper, scout trooper and snowtrooper designs.

Längre än en dum i universum ursäkta om en ras av framtidsspecifika biologiska experter som är kända i galaxen som expertkloner blir förvirrade över hur deras kloner rör sig i sin rustning handlar det om att George Lucas vill överföra den ursprungliga stormtrooperhjälmen till något som liknar Boba Fett och sedan tummer närmare den ursprungliga stormtrooper-designen med varje iteration.
