I think Force Awakens and Rogue may have provided the needed elements for us.
The planet based “Deathstar” (Starkiller base) can be used to establish the space battle taking place over the capital planet.
No need to change the battle mechanics since they are similar, it’s easier to adapt existing VFX than to create new elements.
Rogue 1 can perhaps provide some imperial interior and shield generator shots if needed.
