Because if the Tantive is loaded on to Raddus ship then how do they get aboard Raddus ship.
What i am saying is the scene of them probably originally carried on to show them leaving.
I don’t mind if you don’t think there is anything wrong with? Perhaps they did just hang around there and joined the fleet later on. Like i said i am not sure i recall correctly but i am pretty sure Raddus is already up in space or something by this point if i remember correctly. It is due to the recut though i am pretty certain about that.
If you recall the droids are on the tantive…
