Gee, maybe they shouldn’t have tossed 25 years worth of EU material out the window just because they could.

Some of it wasn’t very good, some was excellent, and most of it fell solidly in between.

It’s like they sensed we were getting tired of Luke and Leia and Han saving the galaxy all the time and were clearly setting up to pass the adventures along to the next generation.

I made a choice to not start reading any of the new continuity expanded material when it started coming out. I’m glad I did.
