Nah. I read enough with him in it, and the short story where he escaped the Sarlaac. That series would have to do a whole lot to bring me around.

And how can you like those books? Darksaber? Crystal Star? Children of the Jedi? New Rebellion? Abortions all. The X-Wing series was pretty entertaining when I was twelve, but I don't know that I'd really be able to appreciate them as much these days. Even more so with the Young Jedi series. Zahn's books were the only ones that truly justified the Expanded Universe, but his writing style made Stephen King look like Ernest Hemingway. I stopped reading around the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and I'd still like to finish those just for nostalgia purposes, and then of course I'll have to catch up on all these newer ones I see around. Read much mediocre writing will I.
