Star Wars III borrows 9/11 Imagery

We are all used to Lucas borrowing imagery from myth and legend in his Star Wars trilogies. But are we ready to see a "ripped from the headlines" image in a Star Wars movie? T-Bone has up a series of images from Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith including the one below which is clearly borrowed from several aerial shots of the burning Twin Towers. I flew for the first time a couple of weeks after 9/11/01 and I remember this view clearly from the window of the plane.

Warning to those who would click thru on the link above or the image itself. This is a small part of a large collection of plot spoilers for the movie. Proceed at your own risk. But I figure the image alone is no spoiler.
