I guess I'm the only one who likes the idea... He IS the only main OT character that doesn't get a nod.

I have a feeling the awful Chewie/Yoda scene will be removed. Assuming it is, seems like the Han/Chewie backstory would be a pleasant sideplot that could be added to all three of the PT films - it would allow Ady to cut as much as needed, and give him entirely new sequences to film to fill the gaps and give it a SW film length.

I know it would totally mess of the EU, but just imagine building up Han as this kid growing up in the underbelly of Coruscant. Occasionally you could mix him into the crowd in a few scenes with Anakin in it. (the bar, hiding behind another of the pillars in Ep 3 after they crash land - I always thought Padme looked far too suspicious being the only one skulking around).

You could even show him and Lando gambling, show him getting the Falcon at then end and him and Chewie flying off in it for the first time...

I'm kinda hoping that we may get to see Han meet Chewie in the upcoming Rebels series. If they do consider it, I'd say they all appear later on in the show and we could also get to see Lando as well! Infinite possibilities I say but to see a young kiddy version of him in the PT:R, I wouldn't recommend it.
