> What I got from searching is that the Dune series is good, as are Ender's Game and Hyperion. Are these good for science fiction newbies?

Yes to all of the above. Especially yes to Ender's Game, but a caveat for Dune: the series is pretty heavy on politics, mysticism & world-building, so it can feel a bit dry & self-important. (Also, never read any of the Dune books by Brian Herbert.)

> Also, I'd really love to get into the expanded Star Wars universe and was planning on starting with the Thrawn trilogy. Any suggestions after that?

Yes again; that's a great place to start. The Star Wars EU is all pretty pulpy (as you might expect), but it's also a lot of fun. Check out the X-Wing series, plus more or less everything from Zahn or Anderson.

A few books to check out (Kindle links for your convenience):
