I always figured it was because the spy genre is a cliché, for the most part. So why not cliché bad guys?
(About the only I liked about the tv show Alias were the bad guys. Much less of clichés than I was used to. Well, I did like the music and the explosions too. :))
Lucas' stormtroopers are the more impressive for wearing white. Of course, until the nineties no one in science fiction tv/film ever, ever uses anything remotely like sensible military tactics. But. I digress.
