Do I really care at this point what went on over that 30 year span when I know that Han, Luke and even to some extent Leia ended up shattered husks?

There's at least 20 years of stories to be told between the ending of RotJ and the start of TFA that could be set in "happier" times for Luke, Leia, Lando and Han which could include the formation of The New Republic, Luke's Jedi Academy (which could be an awesome series of its own) and more stories of lawlessness and change throughout the galaxy, like The Mandalorian.
Who wouldn't want to see a limited TV series about Lando's exploits throughout the galaxy after the demise of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic? Hell that premise alone is exciting.

There could also be so much more to their stories than what we briefly saw onscreen, just like Rogue One and Star Wars Rebels brought to the OT era, which saw the Inquisitors, The Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister, the death of Darth Maul and the training of a would-be Jedi in Ezra Bridger.
Maybe these wouldn't appeal to you but if they're as well done as The Mandalorian, long time fans that were "turned off" by the sequels would eventually tune in to find out what's they're all about.
