2. Or perhaps she is not the daughter of anybody we know, making her truly a new character.  A hero’s journey for someone completely new.
2. Han’s demise
1. Han didn’t want his son to commit such a dark sin that he killed himself.
3. Han’s not dead
1. This one seems to be highly unlikely, especially after watching the Documentary.  The emotional weight needed by the death of Han is too important to the story.  (even if Darth Maul actually survived his split in two by a lightsaber and thrown down the shaft in Episode 1 and he comes back in The Clone Wars and Rebels).  Plus Starkiller Base explodes after Han falls down an endless abyss.
4. Snoke
1. Also, perhaps he’s really small.
