And leaving your own baseline is a very rare thing.
I feel like I’ve kind of done that. I was born in '89 and grew up on LucasArts games and Bantam paperbacks, but after movies stopped coming out in '05 I became a lot more passive in my fandom, largely because I wasn’t wild about the direction the EU took after jumping back to Del Rey. For six or seven years my relationship with Star Wars consisted of just watching the OT once or twice a year and maybe firing up an old computer game once in a blue moon, but then in college I got back into it in a big way, and when the Disney buyout and subsequent reboot were announced, I resolved to follow as much of it as I could, because I’d always felt I missed out on ever keeping up with the Dark Horse comics just because of when I was born. At this point, I’m as invested in the current iteration of Star Wars as I was in the 90s version. I’ve got a major soft spot the Legends stuff I grew up with, but I’m fine with the fact that it’s over and it doesn’t interfere at all with my ability to embrace current material.
Sounds like you have a very flexible baseline, which is probably the most practical approach.
I myself however have completely moved away from my own early 2000’s perception of SW, and have more-or-less adopted the 70’s, 80’s, and especially the 90’s as my preferred SW baseline(s). I do watch the new movies, but I just can’t get into the new canon. I’m sure it’s a mixed bag of good and bad like the old canon, but I have a hard time getting invested in any post-PT EU. I know it’s silly, but I get really annoyed whenever I see a battle-droid in a OT setting, or other similar things that I’ve seen in the new material.
