I'm really not sure. My introduction was the original trilogy as a kid, and I really really loved the Archetypal Space Fantasy feel of those (mystics and princesses and rogues and evil emperors, but in SPACE), but while I hated a lot of the dialogue and a few world-building choices in the prequels, I also really liked the exploration of politics and a bigger-feeling, more complicated galaxy. The bits of the EU I've read/seen, I've liked that aspect too. It's one of the things I really missed in TFA. It got a lot of the OT feeling back, but it also felt like it massively shrunk the galaxy and the worldbuilding back down, so that the entire universe now consists of the First Order and the Rebellion MkII having a(n exceptionally lethal) playground fight. Even the OT felt so much bigger than TFA, possibly because the sheer size of the Empire made up for its monopoly on galactic politics. It was so big it didn't need to be overly complicated. The First Order just doesn't have any of that oomph.

So, I don't know. I really like the camp and the ridiculousness of the OT, but I loved a lot of the worldbuilding and politics of the prequels and the EU, and I think Star Wars could use a little bit of both.

(I haven't seen Rogue One yet, so I can't comment on that one specifically).

I'm kind of the same. I wish there had been more information about the Hoison government and how it related to the Resistance, and also more about the makeup of the First Order and how it worked.

But, I dislike when people say that they can't have Rey connected to Skywalker or Kenobi (or whatever) because that would make the universe too small. To me, the story is about this family. It should focus on people connected to it.

I actually found some of the EU made the galaxy feel very small. Zahn's Thrawn trilogy especially made it feel tiny.
