Now we know why they always miss. That explains the whole redesign of the stormtroopers helmets for the next installment of Star Wars.

About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

That's okay as long as they look like robots. 😉
They've got a screen inside the helmet.
Hang on. If you add hair. Doesn't the helmet go up by a bit….
The "eyeports" are cameras and sensors — they have a H.U.D. inside the helmet… which, oddly, has never been discovered to react poorly to the presence of high levels of force potentiality.
Watch closely, they only shoot poorly at Force Users and Force Sensitives, the rest of the time they are quite on target — I'd say this is an 'oversight' by design, considering how paranoid Palpatine can be, and it protects him from his own troops.
Also; the SoroSuub Corporation's second-generation Carbine were standard issue in the original trilogy — like the older E-11 BlasTech SIS, they are supposed to be linked into the targeting system, so Gun Cam (thermal/highres digital-sighting mile-long sniper-scoped… sat-link ready for GPS assisted targeting… instant real-time review of engagement conditions and direct command of individual units by HQ) is a common option… indirect targeting is possible even around corners and over terrain obstacles.
The SoroSuub Corporation has deeply rooted rebel sympathizers — another possible source of faulty designs in all the later Standard Issue Stormtrooper (SIS) rated gear.

The head is too big got the helmet. Proportions are wrong. If the pic was accurate, you would always be able to see the chin on the wearer. In the movies, cosplay, drawings, etc., them front of the helmet is practically on the wearer's chest.
Changing the proportions would still result in an apparent (though reduced) mismatch… all the actors who played stormtroopers, have complained about the limited vision.
In quite a few scenes you can see them over-tilting their head, and attempting to aim with the off-side eye… a stance which, without such a helmet or an eye-patch, is just nuts.
cyclons suits are just as bad in the original as the costume actors can fall over each other cause they can't see their feet?
