I guess the story would have to be changed. Maybe half get lost?

It would overly complicate a set up that already needs some tweaking to work.

Ideally the Revisited series should take the intended idea (the Rebels are fooled into thinking the base is undefended and the station isn't operational, the Imperials still lose due to their overlooking the diminutive but capable natives coming to the Rebel's aid) and enhance it.

What needs to change is the scale of the thing which is a bit flat and mundane for a Star Wars film and the tone which is light and comic which is entirely inappropriate for the climax of a film about war albeit a fantasy one.
