I still don't see why we couldn't have had both, though. Maybe Han could have become the Rebel leader, completing his character's change from mercenary to selfless leader, and Leia would have taken over the new Jedi order after Luke lost his mojo. Maybe that change would be what eventually drove them apart and estranged them further from Ben/Kylo.
