Scout trooper question
Is there any explanation for why Scout trooper helmet's are designed the way they are?

Something to do with how they ride on the speeder bikes?

From Starwars.com
Designer Nilo Rodis-Jamero likened the scout troopers to kamikaze pilots who need only to see what's directly in front of them. This was part of the inspiration for the viewplate shroud on their helmets, which resemble the blinders worn by racehorses.

i hate to tell you guys but when your wearing a helmet, there is no periphial vision. Unless of course some alien is wearing the helmet and his eyes are bulgy, large and round like the visors then its periphial vision would be taken away by those sidesDeathstalker wrote:It may be possible that it has something to do with the sensors. It does put a damper in the periphial vision department.
