I think it is impossible to compare the whole of two years work with the whole of 35 years work.

I haven't actually consumed any of the new canon (beyond the Filoni shows) but they're fighting an uphill battle in a way. How are the writers supposed to be creative when so much as already been done? The Marvel Star Wars main title is doing the adventures between ANH and ESB, which I'd estimate was done in at least 4 or 5 comic lines in the old EU and god knows how many books. 

The real creative stuff will come when they get to completely rewrite the timeline, ie the post ROTJ stuff. Of course they have to be careful at the moment so as to not spoil TFA but I'll be interested to see what they come up with when they get to really delve into that 30 year period.
