I have had both kinds of conversations, yes -- where I was a dilettante and they excitedly told me about obscure delights, and where I was the one producing obscure delights that confused casual fans. Heh. :)
I hesitate to recommend you bother with the last two sequels. They contained a few awesome new characters (mostly female) and some delightful cameos and a lot of badly thought out ridiculousness that really did not fulfill the promise of Episode 7. That said, I love the sequel trilogy even with all its issues, and I never really got into the book EU, so it's my canon. But I reserve the fanficcer's right to amend. :D
