Yes, exactly. Large, extensive universes can be really intimidating and not everyone has endless hours to search out the tiniest detail. I don't think there's anything wrong with going off the TFA and MCU universe and not the EU or MCU.
When MCU fandom first started, there was a lot of drama over people not adhering to comics canon details, friendships, romances, etc., but eventually it moved into people who wrote only based off the movies, people who wrote only based off the comics, and people who wrote using details from both. I think Star Wars fandom will move in that direction eventually.
