Above the Death Star planetoids surface, two deadly TIE fighters move speedily to intercept a Rebel X-wing fighter (possibly Luke's, from looking at the Fourth Draft script) in a lovely ILM 1976/77 storyboarded image by artist unknown (presumably Joe Johnston).
After the originally scripted and shot first failed attempt by Luke to shoot the torpedo (using his targeting computer) into the Death Star trench, he and his wingmen shoot out from the trench at high speed, as Vader gives the order for his two TIE wingmen to pursue Luke's craft. Luke ultimately shakes them off to re-group with his buddies for the second ultimately successful trench run.
With thanks to Chris Baker for the image.
