I mean, sure the chronology is already shot because now the Death Star was built twenty years before ANH, but we can ignore that. Maybe it was a prototype that they saw at the end of RotS, have the design team recalled to improve it, or something--maybe throw in some of the characters from the Maw Installation.

IMO, the plot of the series will take place much closer to ROTS than ANH... Too bad, but I really think it will be done in that way, just for the commercial purpose...
