I don't know.. Looked at it again. I get it... A ship is getting shot up and then an escape pod goes off, ends up on the surface of a planet where two droids have emerged from. It's not confusing to me, and again, don't want to reuse shots if I don't have to. And I don't believe I have to in this case. I appreciate the feedback though.

Is anyone else confused?

Well like you'd said, you have to put aside your former knowledge of the movie. For someone who hasn't seen it, they'd see two ships, then out of nowhere see this strange device (with no basis on size since we never see it against a ship) shooting out of some strange shaft and heading for the planet.

And re-using the shot later on in the flashback would only make it feel more "full circle".
