Luke is wish fulfilment, he's some random moisture farmboy who goes on to be an epic hero. Han is some badass scoundrel who gets the main female character.
And go read his treatment he brought up yourself. He wrote Rey as someone who was spinning her wheels doing nothing with her life until Han rescues her and by dumb luck meets Leia who decides to make her a Republic Operative or something.
Oh, and still no explanation of how the OT cast couldn't stop the First Order on their own without needing help, despite them taking down the Empire a generation before.
-His journey does have some wish fulfillment, but it's not at the expense of suspension of disbelief in the universe they've created. That's only because the universe started with him so the rules were built around him. He can get away with stuff Rey can't. I know he was a handsome, charming rogue who people liked more than the supposed Lead character. He got with Leia and went from lowlife smuggle to Galactic Hero just by being in the right place at the right time. Well, Han and Leia didn't really have a lot to do in ESB aside from run and get caught. But admittedly he was also a no-win scenario since making him some stoic super-soldier badass wouldn't have gone over any better.
