Weren't the Prequels a thinly veiled political commentary on the Bush administration and the war on terror?
Since The Phantom Menace came out in 1999 that seems unlikely. Possible for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith which came out in 2002 and 2005 respectively. Still seems unlikely unless you think George is a "9/11 was an inside job" guy.
I think it was more coincidence that a story about the decline of a republic into an authoritarian state due to a crisis and subsequent war, but man is it well timed.
