Continuing in my experiment to redesign the Stormtrooper armour, I've got the front body. I removed the black strip from the head, as it being mostly white looks better and ghostly. 

 

The logic:

The yellow tabs are for cabling that gets threaded through during deployment: in a battle in the air or in space, the troopers could be fired out of the ship they're on, with cabling through the tabs of each trooper in a unit, like a series of zip-lines. They'd slide to their destination then disconnect.  (They're yellow because they need to be visible, even though that gives the enemies something more obvious to aim for, because the mission is more important than any given trooper.

 

To help them with that, the shape in the middle of the chest is a strong magnet, which locks into a segment on the back of the trooper in front of them, locking them together like LEGO pieces. 

 

Remember, the Emperor doesn't exactly care about the individual trooper, only whether or not the mission succeeds.

 

The troopers would be fired like a sleeve of Pez at an enemy vessel or encampment. 

 

Speaking of batteries, the trooper's weapons are attached via very strong magnets. While an enemy combatant can't remove the weapon, the trooper can, as can any fellow trooper. This feature allows for the rapid strip-down of fallen troopers to keep the general effort going. 

 

The forearms and lower legs are black (shown here dark grey) because they're going to get their hands dirty, and bloody, and black is going to need to be cleaned less often.
