My worry has always been that the writing would be poor, and it would tarnish my love of SW.

Most of the novels I read are sci-fi/fantasy, so it would be a natural fit.

It's not classic literature, but it's pretty good. I'm not super critical. The only book I didn't like was "Children of the Jedi", a stand-alone book early on in the series. There are several writers who contribute, and it's probably formulaic, but I like the characters and the situations they find themselves in. If you read fantasy books now, these fit right in. Starting fresh, you have the luxury of following the timeline. As the books were coming out in the 90's, they jumped back and forth a bit on the timeline. You can start from the beginning with "The Truce at Bakura" which takes place immediately after Return of the Jedi, and then move on to the series with Grand Admiral Thrawn. That series alone is worth the read, even if you don't read any more.
