Why does Rey wear dark goggles inside a dark, poorly lit star destroyer? After all, she's using a flashlight to help her see, so wouldn't just taking off the goggles make things easier for her?
Other than giving the movie suspense for about 45 seconds by not revealing Rey's identity, is there an in-universe answer for this?
Answer
According to the Star Wars: Force Awakens - Visual Dictionary Rey's headgear consists of a set of stormtrooper lens goggles as well as a headlamp.
The film's novelisation described them as "protective" and notes that she removes them once clear of danger (e.g. once she's outside the salvage zone)
One such individual clung insectlike to a dark metal wall pimpled with protruding sensors, manipulators, and other decaying mechanisms. Clad in light protective goggles with green lenses, face mask, gloves, and gray desert clothing, the busy figure was burdened with a substantial backpack.
and
Outside the metal caverns and at last clear of danger, the scavenger shoved the goggles up on her forehead and squinted at the blasted surroundings.
