    Is stormtrooper and clone armor supposed to protect the wearer?

    because troopers get taken down with one shot.

    It's not designed to stop a direct hit at close range - but to stop glancing hits, hits from longer ranges, fragments from grenades - and so forth.

    thank you.

    but what is close range? over the six movies and TCW troopers get taken out at different distances

    Close range is probably 100-odd feet or so.
