I feel like it will be bad because authors won't have freedom to make things their way.

Should I spend my time reading it or look for a long series of a single author?

Any Timothy Zahn books are quite good. I love Thrawn.

iirc, in the 90's the older books had a set of guidelines they had to adhere to, like no stories that take place before episode 4, or Luke couldn't have sex, I don't remember much more than that, but I think they were pretty free to tell any story if they stayed within the guidelines.

TBH I have no idea what the rules are now.
