I mean, both the Star Wars ones should really be OT4s, but this game doesn't work as well for OT4s.

I think if you swap out for the most canon-doable/least incesty version as an OT3, it becomes Lando is 1, Han is 2, Leia is 3.

It depends on how you define unreasonable, but I feel like "Make a deal with Darth Vader, and then welch on it", "Fly a rickety old freighter literally into the Death Star", and "Cheat at Sabaac" are all objectively not very reasonable, but his goals tend to be things like "maintain continuity of city administration" and "make a living", which only become unreasonable in context.

I mean, in general all of these depend on whether you consider 'defeat the all-powerful Evil Empire' a reasonable or unreasonable goal. But especially if you count sequel-trilogy as canon, Leia tends to have goals like "create an alliance out of squabbling rebel groups and use it to bring down the all-powerful empire, while a teenager" or "resign from a high political position in order to start another underground rebel group in order to fight an enemy most people don't think exists", and she someone manages to succeed at those.

Whereas Luke has goals like "Get off this boring planet", "rescue my friends", "prevent the bad guy from finding my friends", "start a school", and "stop getting other people killed". It's just that the strategies he chooses to accomplish these things are so batshit they obscure the modesty of the original goals.
