Yeah but NSW was comparably as far reaching, but lasted much, much longer.
Indeed. They lasted a thousand years and killed the hypernet.
The Clone Wars may have been effectively the largest-scale individual war that lasted a few years, at least in terms of making worlds pick sides (many still had little to no fighting- I'm pretty sure a number of wars had more casualties and more battles, the TOR war most obviously), but the New Sith Wars were effectively a few hundred overlapping wars that went everywhere and caused damage like literally no other conflict.
Even worlds outside of Sith space were more isolated and often were lead by individual Jedi Lords!
It's one of the few conflicts where one can say, "Yes, galactic society and technology backslid as a result of this. Significantly."

Another perk of liking the pre-movie stuff, is that if anything's safe from getting retconned by the new canon, it's that. Post-movie stuff on the other hand is clearly at massive risk.
Yeah... nothing is safe. Post-movie stuff is pretty much guaranteed to be gone though.

Not necessarily. Perhaps the new movies will be set post-Crucible. That would be EPIC!
But even if not, nothing will be "gone" really. I mean, okay, we won't get anymore new books, comics etc in that particular setting and sure that's a downer, but we'll still have the existing books etc that we love. And if you want anything new there's always fanfiction to keep it alive.
