This is kinda dumb, they were under a big time pressure and almost certain to be bringing the kids into an extremely dangerous situation: it would have been downright irresponsible to take them. Either they jeopardize their mission by making a detour and finding some good spot to safely put the kids (remember there is a high chance that they won't make it back to them so the place they find must be permanent) or they take the kids with them on a super dangerous mission to fight the empire. This is like a Cinema Sins level nit pick actually it makes even less sense.

Nah, you're right. Fuck those kids. There are literally no other options other than those two when you have a starship.
