It was pretty dope up until they wiped out the old EU. The fans of the books and comics aren't the same crowd as the movie fans. Like, there was the occasional problematic thing in there, such as people who would argue that the empire was justified given the small hints one particular author sprinkled in about Palps doing the whole thing because he knew about the upcoming extragalactic space barbarians that were gonna fuck everyone's shit up. The one new thing the rebooted lore does really well is having the Chiss explicitly standing sentinel againstsomething in the unknown regions, so if they do another Vong arc the imp defenders can't say it was the empire trying to do that.
