This Shot is flipped Horizontally. It makes a lot more sense flopped with the planet on the left and the guy on the right…
Why would it make “more sense” ?
Because when we see the ships flying in space the planet is on their left heading towards us.
So Taking off the planet is on the wrong side and the guy in the tower matches the concept we also see him on this side earlier in the film… But that is how I kind thought about it simply because the planet is wrong side on take off. All roads leaded to concluding that shot was flipped. So think of it as the edge of a ball so when we go towards it it’s edge is on the left but when heading towards camera the edge is in fact on the right.
But also the fact it looked nothing like the planet we see in space was bugging me so I tried to make it more orange. But I think it also takes into account the sun angle.
I suppose if you took it back to the original Theatrical shot you could say the moon was missing and it was meant to be night.
