It has been discussed before, and is a recurring idea especially in proposed "3in1" edits to create some sort of narrative consistency.
One aforementioned edit suggested that the battle of Yavin could be removed entirely, so when the Rebel's initially escape the DS, they in fact go to hoth, and ESB plays out from there.
I think removing the destruction of the DS would detract heavily from the impact of ANH, but could work in the context of a trilogy.
