Tactical rail, you can mount laser sights and flashlights and bipods and grenade launchers to it.

Its more than just a helmet. It has the voice thingy and I would guess scanners or some shit in the visor.
So it would probably be part they needed to make space for, or possible a vent.But really, its just to look cooler.

this, helmets have had these for centuries. it's to provide extra protection from blows to the head as if from a rapier or something similar. Totally pointless when lightsabers can cut through them like they're nothing.
So they can swim fast in water.
Literally, canonically to look "50s" like tail fins on old cars.
That is 100% the reason they did it. They wanted the prequels to feel "50s" compared to the OT's 70s/80s because George Lucas is that much of a subtext-ignorant, literal autist.

More aerodynamic, duh. Like a shark's fin.

Same as the spike on the top of the prussian helmets and german Stahlhelms.
None other than looking neat and making your military recognizable.
>>64168965
Back in the days when there were cavalry charges most men on horseback had rapiers and the head had to be protected. In essence it protects the top of the head from being hit with rifles or clubs or whatever was being used in hand to hand combat, not just rapiers.

Came here to post something like this
Lucas added it as a homage to the Flash Gordon type aesthetic that he grew up with and which influenced Star Wars
>>64168216
You should be asking why the Republic would go and change the entire uniform after a couple years, that's a fucking waste of money.

Because kaminoians are fish people, thus the armor has an aquatic aesthetic before they became more utilitarian and suited to the human body.
