Near the end of Star Wars IV: A New Hope, we see four spacecraft flying from the Death Star just moments before it explodes.
As you can see, there is the Millennium Falcon crewed by Han and Chewbacca, a pair of X-Wings which has to be Luke and Wedge, and then in the bottom corner, we see a Y-Wing. Who is this pilot and did he have any screen time to justify him actually existing in this moment? For as far as I can tell during the first trench runs, they were conducted by the Y-Wings and all of them seemed to have been destroyed during their run. So as I asked, who is flying this ship and how did survive to this moment?
Answer
Wookieepedia indicates that Keyan Farlander is the pilot of the Y-wing fighter seen leaving the Death Star alongside Luke, Wedge and the Millennium Falcon.
This seems kinda thinly sourced, however.
For the main attack on the Death Star, Farlander was temporarily reassigned to Gold Squadron and flew a Y-wing in the battle (src: X-wing Collector's CD-ROM: The Official Strategy Guide according to Wookieepedia).
Star Wars Blueprints: Rebel Edition indicates that he was "Gold Seven".
