What you’re mentioning would be a cool way to use relic abilities if they eventually exist. Imagine they add a new that interacts with an old existing one.
Example
Wimpy kiddybaby whiners talk about zeta Vader lead being useless and wanting a refund. ( stupid complaint)
Imagine if Vader relic ability becomes something to the effect of “enemies with damage over time cannot recover protection”
This would give a little relevance to his old lead without changing the whole kit. Like who really wants to see darth revan get a super good relic ability.
Perhaps, if that is at all what relic abilities will be like , then there is hope for wedge & crew. And also , if you have those guys decent they are a still useful for cleanup.
