Not sure who did it first or when, but you see it a lot at conventions. Actually you see a lot of kilts in general at Sci Fi cons.
There was a New Orleans Saints trooper (not kilted though) at Babelcon in Baton Rouge last year. Most of the troopers you might see are in the 501st legion, it is a huge Star Wars costuming club that primarily portrays members of the Empire. A lot of them started wearing black Utilikits when not in costume, and I guess it took off from there. I think they have adopted Prince of Wales as an official tartan, USA Kilts made a bunch for them.
