They're basically the writers attempts to wrap up the loose ends Legends left while also righting the ship from the more mean spirited and grimderp that the final books coughcruciblecough had devolved into; more specifically Vergere is revealed to have NOT been a Sith (she and Lumiya MET but ultimately Vergere wrote her off as a sad and pathetic individual blinded by pain and anger), Luke ultimately realizes he's let his grief over Mara's death cloud his judgement, and we get a more detailed explanation for why Jacen fell. Basically he had a need to be the hero, and so when he saw Krayt's threat on the horizon he tried to shoulder the burden himself out of ego and ultimately snapped under the pressure.
It's not perfect (and some of the storylines such as Legacy's End are not for everyone) but as someone who was bitterly disappointed by the shitshow Legends became in the final years it was nice to see someone try to address it and actually make a good showing of tying up the loose ends. I think that fans who liked Legends and were disappointed by how it devolved would at least appreciate the effort.
