Well, even it IS purposely done... as long as it's a homage, and not taking the piss or anything, what's wrong with it? Like I said censorship is not the right way to get over such a horrible, emotional event. You have to deal with the past, not keep silent of it.
Bilb, I also remember reading somewhere that it's a very different view of Coruscant than what we're used to seeing. Usually, it's a real complex, fantasy-like view (like the foreboding red sky at the end of AOTC), yet here it's broad daylight, it's viewed from a distant, the sky is earth-like and there's hardly any traffic.
