It's a stylist decision the view is blocked for dramatic effect.
If they had just have blocked the view of the battle, then i would have had no problem with it , it's the fact that that there is now way i could have been unseen at that angle. All they needed to do was to have the planet almost out of frame and the camera at a different angle and the sequence would have worked.

ROTJ on the other hand has the second worse opening of a Star Wars film IMHO.
TPM has the worse but ROTJ with it's truncated slow repeat of the opening to ANH with the Death Star framed in such a way as to make it look as tiny and unthreatening as possible is cock up personified.
well that whole opening sequence is going to be removed and replaced with a new opening for ROTJ:R. Opening the way iot does now almost tells the audience" hey, i ran out of ideas so i'm just going to rehash ANH" and then he does it again with TPM's ending, only this time it's ROTJ; battle in space, battle by the indigenous species and the heroes break into the palace/ bunker and the baddies are tricked by a decoy, all intercut with a lightsaber battle and then the ship goes BOOM.
