re: New Star Wars Canon Novel: Thrawn

Here's a dumb question from someone who isn't really a SW fan, doesn't know much about the SW "universe", and is pretty ignorant/indifferent on the whole thing.
For those who are mega-fans, do you like that they keep adding things onto the "Star Wars" name (new rogue 1, this thrawn series, the new episodes upcoming) or are you more of a purist that would have just preferred we have 4/5/6 and leave it at that?
The only things that I can relate it to on a personal level would be something like BTTF or Indiana Jones...I aboslutely love the shite out of those trilogies (yeah, I know...) and would rank them among my favorite movies of all time. I just think that if they continued producing content related to the name (let's say for instance a new movie talking about Marty's childhood, one about Doc Brown's career, a Biff spinoff, whatever) I would really be turned off to the idea.

I like those movies too, but BTTF and Indy live in our universe. There are only so many artifact Indy can steal from Nazis, there are only so many thirty year time jumps Doc can make in BTTF. With Star Wars there is a giant universe with varying planets and species that can be explored.
You could make a 100 Star Wars movies.

Not really upset about all the movies and such. I knew Disney would milk the franchise after paying so much for it. If they stories are good that's all I care about. Though the only one I have a problem with is the Han Solo movie, I think that character is too iconic. I think more than anything I would want to see is a live-action TV series.

I personally enjoy the additional stories and spin-offs. The SW universe is just so large with virtually unlimited storylines, it'd be a shame for it to just be limited to the movies.
Having said that, certain books that came out before the Disney revamp were just too fan-fictiony, and I refused to consider them part of SW. I know they were all fan fiction, but the Thrawn series and the Old Republic series were great IMO.
I do think of the movies as the real Star Wars, though. The books are just additional side entertainment.
