Having gone through this with Star Wars a few years ago I can understand the hesitation and, well, anger.

I can also see why it would be good. With over 10years of lore and background it could be crippling and handicapping the writers. Imagine going into work saying 'i have this amazing idea for a new story with character x' but you get shot down because people need to investigate what has been happening with character X over the last 13 years and where they are now. Etc.

So don't fall into the hole of THESE STORIES NEVER HAPPENED NOW AND I HAVE WASTED ALL THIS TIME AND MONEY READING THESE!

Again look at star wars. They rebooted but also acknowledged and sometimes even included previous lore such as bringing in Thrawn to the Rebels cartoon 😊
