I don't agree with your laughing at their "outdated sense of morality." Their morality may have been around for a long time, but that doesn't mean that it is outdated. Many Christians share a similar sense of morality. What should be laughed at is the attempts by the Chinese Communists to impart their own morality on the rest of the Chinese people which are astoundingly futile.

Actually, Lucas probably takes a cue from them. Star Trek came first, if I'm not mistaken.
