Who says they weren't? As soon as the shield was taken down, the fighters were sent in - 20 seconds. How long do you think it takes for the shields to power up again? Ever been through a blackout? You know why it takes so long for the power to come back on? Because you can't just flip a switch and shunt all the power back through the system - it would cause an overload. You have to bring the power on in sequence - it would probably take at least an hour for the shields to come back on line if you're using any sense of quasi-realism. Hell, even the Death Star had a time required to charge, and that was simply focused energy.
Even tho both only took 20 secs in the movie.
