I just started the canon "fodder".  Got through Catalyst and Tarkin, I especially enjoyed the latter.  Lords of the Sith is next after I get through TFA (got it for free).

You touch on an interesting point about non-traditional characters with force abilities that I think warrants more development.  One of the hallmarks of the Jedi is the almost priest-like separation from relationships and romance.  The majority of characters in the prequels are solo acts.  And yet.....a healthy stable of padawan existed until Anakin turned.  I believe that while the strength of the force in an individual has proven to be genetic, it also seems to manifest as a somewhat recessive trait.  Otherwise how would so many Jedi have existed previously?  They may have seen their own Khmer Rouge-style cleansing at the hands of Sidious, but I believe that time will reveal more individuals strong in the force.  I guess the question really focuses around whether there is a Master around to teach them the craft sufficiently to warrant the Jedi label, versus someone applying their skills for parlor games and cheap thrills.
