Pretty much if you've mastered stone age technology and basic booby traps you're a match for Stormtroopers.

I can't particularly think of any situation where the armor appeared to prevent death in either the movies or the books.

Off the top of my head I recall the WEG Star Wars RPG having Stormtrooper armor as basically the best in the galaxy short of Mandalorian; though it was best for dealing with kinetic type attacks as Blasters mostly tore through it.
