Your art teachers enthusiastically played darts in class?   :)

Seriously, the centering doesn't bother me in this image. If you
assume that the droids are coming at the camera, which I think they
are. It just adds to the feeling of terror they must instill in the
drunks they are searching, because the frontmost droid looks as if he
is about to run overtop of you, and he couldn't care less.    :)

For the record, the frontmost droid is not totally centered, but a
little low and to the right. If you assume that it is flying in
formation with the one behind, this suggests a trajectory for their
flight. If they are coming toward the camera, the front droid is also
going downward, and toward the viewer's right.

By the way, there are no composition rules, only suggestions.

As I've said already, I think they are coming toward the camera. I
also don't think they have found him, because their "take down" lights
aren't on.   :)
