Because for the first 20 years of the Star Wars universe, the forces for the Empire or what would have been the end of the Republic used Microphones when they spoke. When Luke talked without it, it sounded muffled. When the Clones talk without it, it doesn't. So, instead of feeling disconnected from the Stormtroopers they originally would have become, you throw in that little sound and people, conciously or not 'feel' like they are watching a Star Wars movie.

The Star Wars feel is those little things that when you hear them in every day life, you instantly recognize them. Or when you hear a sound or a piece of music in a film, it instantly brings you back to Star Wars. ADM brings the 'Star Wars' feel to TPM when he inserts some classic cues into the POD race. When the two Imperial fighters fly by at the end of ROTS and they make the same sound as the TIE fighters flying by, that is the Star Wars feel. Just little things that Ben Burtt, John Williams, and George Lucas did that made the films unique and burned them into our pop culture minds.

So, no..it isn't a big deal, but it's one of those things you don't notice at first, but on further watching you begin to think "Huh, that's weird".

so your saying that someone talking muffled behind a helmit is the starwars feeling.

You don't get it, which is fine.

I can't believe I never noticed that before! Good job pointing that out! I never even noticed that Luke and Han didn't use the mics either! And I don't see why all these people are getting upset about you pointing it out. At least it's original. It doesn't destroy the prequels (other things do that ^_~), but it's still fun to talk about it. All you naysayers don't have to stick around and keep talking about how it's stupid. To each his own. Maybe troops made of CG are forbidden by Galactic law to use microphones, whereas real guys in suits can do it! Hmm? You don't think so? Well, who has any better suggestions?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
