I also never understood why, once the shield generator had been disabled, no rebel ships seem to target the firing dish. Surely that's a target for at least one squadron? Destroy the firing points and you disarm the DS for a while at least.

According to Lando's dialog, all of the fighters that are left go into the tunnel. All 5 of them?

Haha, sounds about right! Maybe a few more fighters trailing in behind might sell it a bit better. We wouldn't have to see them for long, just an indication that more attempted to get in there.
