At Lucasfilm they have also added an Outrider to the Special Edition Trilogy on
VHS (departing from Mos Eisley) so there's a good chance they also added an
extra TIE/D to the trench run scene on the first Death Star at the upcoming DVD,

Why not add some prominent Trade Federation Battleships to the EPVI fleet at
Endor, while we're at it?  And some AT-TE's to the Hoth landing?  The trench run
is fine as it stands, ship-wise.  They can tweak the maneuvers, but the addition
of new ships to the central action would serve no artistic purpose and would
only be yet another example of art-as-slave-to-marketing.

It would be lame.  Not as lame as Greedo-shoots-first, but lame.
