why do people in Star Wars not believe in space suits

How do rebel pilots survive in space with those open face helmets after ejecting?!?!

Least the tie fighter pilots have nice flight suits.

Because looking cool more important then functionality.

Nerd answer, because the ships are incredibly durability and space suits tend to heavily hamper one's ability to properly fly the ships thus making them kind of useless.

As an added note to Jamaree's post, the odds of you surviving an explosion while within one of those fighters is next to zero. And on the off chance that you survive the blast, now you have to hope you are drifting towards a friendly space station/ship before you run out of oxygen and before you drift into a planet or star.

The fans can't clap to bulky space suits

Because Star Wars was never going the physics-correct direction unlike some more hardcore sci-fi movies. Or at the very least, they may be going the direction that the movie universe's space works differently than ours.

EDIT: The don't use space suits in the same vein how they are never affected by time dilation with all the shit going on in space.

Do we ever see anybody eject from a rebel ship?

Because they had a pretty modest budget for the first one and they had to make due. Big fancy space suits would have cost a lot of money.

Apparently the Battlefront 2 campaign is canon. The Imperial special forces and pilots suits are definitely vacuum sealed. But yes for the rebels, I don't know.

I think you gotta realize too, a lot of it was for the movie magic. The human mind likes to connect with others, if we can see their eyes. We have no emotional attachment to Vader or the Tie Pilots in Episode 4 because we can't see their faces. But I still remember Porkins, Wedge, and Dack - even if they were supporting pilots that played extremely small roles.
