I've got to agree with the first post. I personally want to look like an Imperial Stormtrooper in all of his glory, not a circa-1970s British actor/stuntman wearing a cheap plastic suit. Recalling the scene in Episode II (AOTC) at the Kamino cloning facility, where the clones are lined up to pick up their buckets, that's how I envision "real" stormtrooper armor would be made. Of course back here in the real world, where struggling up-and-coming filmmakers are under intense budget & schedule pressure to complete a project that no one knows whether or not it'll succeed or fail, you often have to settle for less.
Maybe my views will evolve over time, but for now I love the gleaming white, perfectly symmetrical, inspection-ready look.
As for the beauty of symmetry vs asymmetry, I personally prefer a woman with two symmetric eyes, legs, tit. . . , well, you get the idea.
