Rex had the perfect hybrid design: flexibility and durability. I daresay if things were different, his armor would be the template for phase 3.

It's always weird to me that the Kaminoans "were unfamiliar with the human anatomy", when they are literally cloning millions of humans from the ground up.

[Fezezen]

The real reason is George wanted them to look more like Stormtroopers to bridge the gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope

I love both phase one and phase two armor are so cool

[SolusDarkcoat]

Real reason is he wanted them to look more like stormtroopers

[clownbio.]

Rex wasn't the only clone to do that, there was another.

No phase 2 wasnt stronger. It was thinner and lighter, more comfortable. But phase 1 had better protection. Thats why Rex welded the front plate of phase 1 onto his phase 2 armor. Also phase 2 helmets had more visibility than phase 1, not the other way around like you described


Edit: There is a lot of arguing under this comment lol. If you are interested then here is a video that i think explains it perfectly:

Actually Phase 1 provided better protection

[aharonskyler]

Rex always has been and will always be the best Clone Trooper to ever exist

[stiva]

i love how u showed rex after saying leading to one clone welding his armor tg

[Blkbeltgaming]

Fun fact: Captain Rex is the only clone with phase 3 armor

[kiritoxyronie]

Phase 1 provides overall better protection and survivability but can be uncomfortable... Phase 2 armor provides comfort but removes the best protection and the additional life support

The real answer is that they wanted to sell new toys.

At this point, I have heard thirty different reasons why there was a transition from phase I to phase II, and all of them have contradicted each other.

[trollnoble]

Imagine being able to clone a human millions of times successfully but having no idea what they would wear.

[Grim]

George felt that redesign was needed. That's it. That's all there is to it.

[ZennZennster]

The Kaminoans not understanding human anatomy while having a planet wide industry devoted to cloning hundreds of millions of humans, is dumb writing.

[corruptangel]

The idea that the Kaminoens didn't understand human anatomy has always been one or the dumbest things I've ever heard.

[ApolloXL]

Changed so that the clones could look closer to the style of the stormtroopers of the OT.
