I agree that he should sacrifice himself, but how? I mean, if he doesn't make it out of the Death Star in time, that's not really selflessness, it's bad luck. Even having the Falcon's missiles jam and Lando ramming the Falcon into the power generator (like Independence Day, heaven forbid) would (a) be pretty much impossible to get across without extra dialog and (b) look more like a fault of the Falcon, since she counts as a character.

Hahaha! Give him a Randy Quaid moment...

"All right you Imperial a**holes! Up YOOOOUUUUUUURRRSSSS!"

If I had the special effects know-how, I'd save Lando's "Here goes nothing" for the end and have him plow that Falcon right into the main reactor at the last possible moment after everything else had failed.
