This same principal was used in TESB when at the end of the film when the filmmakers flopped the shot of Admiral Piett as he approaches Vader and tells him the Falcon will be in range of the tractor beam. By flopping the shot Lucas and co created a continuity problem with Piett's rank insignia but the physics and geography of the film making process dictated that Piett approach Vader's left side as Vader was facing left on all of his close ups.
Just a little helpful suggestion.
