I disagree. Firstly, what we saw in 1983 was a more intimate, personal, planet-limited celebration. Of course, at the time there was no Naboo, but he could have added victory celebrations on Tatooine, Endor, even Hoth. And he didn't. So no he wants something galaxy-wide and larger than life, totally changing the focus of the coda.

And had he added Naboo/Jar Jar out of the blue, without any setup, most people would have gone WTF?

It'd be like re-editing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to add Marion pushing a baby in a stroller over the end credits -wink, wink-.
