Oh, yeah, argh, love triangles can be SO infuriating (mostly because they usually aren't necessary).
And you're not alone in enjoying those, many others do too! I wish I could enjoy that side of things, believe me. The fact that I can't has caused me a great deal of anguish and anxiety this past year, not to mention often made me feel very isolated from the fandom in general. But sadly, the whole thing (TFA, I mean) nearly destroyed my enjoyment of SW forever, and I've spent the last year now steadily trying to build it back. So, I definitely don't mean to sound overly negative or dismissive or anything, I just can't bring myself to ever accept something as a canonical part of the Star Wars saga when I feel it destroys the meaning and significance of everything that came before.
Now that said, I am not against the 'new canon' entirely, nor am I somehow adverse to any new additions to the SW universe as a whole. For me, it just depends on the nature and implications of such additions. There have been a number of things i've quite enjoyed, including Rebels, the above-mentioned comics, the A New Dawn novel, and, more recently, Rogue One. I wrote my thoughts on that film here on tumblr (and cross posted here on LJ). :)
