Yeah I guess Star Wars is a perfect example that story can't stop on its own but it's constantly perpetuated because people want more and that's why we have official versions, half official versions, wannabe official versions, fan fictions.
Basically it's the same as with religions and their myths. For instance in Christianity there is a Bible (which itself was developed trough long time and has many versions and many hundreds of books that didn't get in) and there is also additional stuff that people believe and create every day that is on the side.
But when it comes to SW movies themselves, do people still care what will happen to the characters? What can happen to the characters anymore? Will Ray become Jedi? - is this even something that people expect? Will Kylo die? Even in the last movie Kylo was just *meh* *whatever*, so will the movie be again filled with long almost pointless adventures by characters that people don't care much? Is there any character in SW that people care anyway?
Maybe Ray becomes a Sith and Kylo goes good - will anyone care? Will that be unexpected?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
