Heres the thing, because I see where you're going with that.
There are a lot of elements of Star Wars that I really, really like. I've read a lot of the older expanded Universe books and while they're not winning any prizes for literature or anything they are largely enjoyable.
Why?
Because its characters you actually care about in an interesting Universe and basically just having continued adventures. Its easy. There isnt much more to it than that and as long as you more or less stick to that without jumping too many sharks people arent really asking for a whole hell of a lot more.
Does anyone care about the Characters from the current trilogy? I'd wager no. Prequels? Obi-Wan. Darth Maul...a little. Maybe the Emperor?
The current crop of characters sucked. You didnt care about them at all.
The Mandalorian? Simple stories with characters you like and care about. No Death Stars required.
