So we're a month and a day into this project, and it has proven popular thus far.  I thought I'd include this picture to illustrate Ronster's idea.

This would be cool to see if it could be done convincingly.  My only concern is that it would mess up the timing already in the movie.  The rebels discover that it is a trap, they turn to avoid the shields, find themselves in front of the Imperial fleet and the fighters appear.  Adding this shot would be an interruption to the pacing.  

Unless we are okay with the audience knowing about the trap and have the storm of ties launch as the Falcon is coming out of hyperspace, making it past the DS shield (is that a concern?  How would an audience watching the edit be ok with the tie fighters leaving the DS, but the rebels would be stopped by the shield?) and flying from behind the fleet of Star Destroyers to then engage the rebels?
