I’ve often suspected this happened with a lot of the storm troopers in Star Wars, particularly in their battle with the Ewoks on Endor’s moon: that when they took the slightest hit from a club or a rock or something, they just laid themselves down and played dead and waited for the battle to move on from where they were. Then, when it was over, they got up and took off their armor and went their merry way; maybe even joined the celebration in the Ewok village afterward. I mean, nobody else knows what those troopers look like without their armor (and The Force Awakens established there’s no Imperial symbol on their clothes or anything like that by which they could be identified) and it’s not as if everybody knows everybody else in the Rebel Alliance, so they could probably blend in pretty easily with the celebrating Rebels and their Ewok buddies.
