Yeah, a lot of post-ROTJ stuff kind of fell into that trap, although Thrawn's trilogy didn't by virtue of making the McGuffin just a large fleet of ships that let him overwhelm the fledgling Republic and not a big doomsday device.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't just a large fleet of ships (Wasn't the entire foundation of the story based on the fact that the Republic had the Imperials on the run, and now the Imperials had little in numbers in comparison), wasn't Thrawn specifically looking for Sidious's vault of goodies? Which were probably super weapons of some kind (Maybe some of Vitiate's world eating rituals are in there...).
It was a large fleet of ships and tanks used to grow Clones so he can not only have a massive navy but grow a quick and highly efficient army to man them. Besides that, there is no Death Star type McGuffin in the Thrawn trilogy. The closest thing to one is a cloaking device for smaller ships that isn't useful for much more than stealing shit while the enemy is distracted.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

On the other end of the spectrum there's TOR which is Super Weapon Overload.

You should wait for the real movie instead of drawing conclusions based on a teaser. Even though TFA was a cash grab movie played for nostalgia (ANH copy) I don't think they will do the same thing in its sequel, they probably will pick up some ideas from EU though

Well, from what I heard it's not being directed by Jar Jar Abrams anymore; so that's a good sign.

I don't like the SW movies in-general, not just the new stuff.

I don't get it. So why still bother to complain?

Because it's really annoying that the so-called tie ins have actual good and interesting storytelling happening but the movies remain blander than Thor The Dark World. Seriously, who's ass do I have to nuke so a SW movie finally amounts to something?

Kotor 2, Tarkin, Bloodline, Thrawn Trilogy, the Vader comics, Legacy, The Clone Wars comics, Bane trilogy, just to name a few. All of them do really cool examinations of the Force, the Jedi and the Sith, giving non-Force users a chance to shine, villain protagonists,...

Wasn't announced that they would do a spin-off movie about Bane or was just a rumour?
