Warning,the following is rant not directed at any individual in particular. Please read at your own risk.
Overall,my opinion on it is: If you can make an engaging story out of it, do it. Even if you mess it up, it'll be experience to learn from as you develop as a roleplayer. The lore is often a mess in this game that ignores its previous history - it can be paid homage to without adhering to all the restrictions it implicates.
Play it, to the best of your ability. Learn from it, and don't sweat the loremongering too heavily. Remember that roleplaying within established canons amounts to shared fanfiction. So long as what you're doing isn't perceived as outright insulting the story, most players are going to at the very least tolerate if not be entertained by it.
