No one said Luke is dead and I still think they could really save this franchise if they reveal that Luke had saved Han Solo.
The story line will go like this. In a rare moment of lucidity Luke sees Han being impaled by his sons lite saber (same flavor less calories). He puts Han in a Jedi stasis field that looks and smells like a evicerated taun taun and upon his own demise crawls in with him until Yoda and Obiwoan get get them out.
No worse than the Disney crappola.
