Oppo Rancisis' fight is way more impressive, in my opinion. The difference here is that Tholme probably doesn't survive, which is not spoiling anything as we all know that no Jedi must survive the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan duel from Revenge of the Sith: the fight takes place over a chasm of fire, and when Tholme falls, even though Quinlan didn't cause the fall he doesn't try to save him either. The eventual duel with Tholme seems to be very inspired by the Anakin vs. Quinlan has become quite the complex character in the course of this ongoing series, (Spoilers! highlight to read) and that will make his demise in Revenge of the Sith all the more poignant. Tholme's disappointment in training Quinlan, Quinlan's determination to succeed, and his admition of guilt are all truly poignant and believable. The exchange between the two is truly well-crafted by Ostrander. He won't let the Jedi or the Separatists get in his way. But he will if that will help him achieve his goal of proving his loyalty to Dooku. He doesn't really want to kill his Master, as he asks for his help in killing the second Sith, Sora Bulq, which has been Quinlan's goal all along. My doubts about Quinlan's motivations are confirmed in this issue, as he talks with Tholme. This issue is all about diversions: Quinlan uses the battle as a diversion to separate himself from the Jedi and meet with Count Dooku's forces Dooku creates a battle another battle as a diversion so Oppo Rancisis goes into meditation and Sora Bulq uses Anazti assassins as a diversion to sneak up on Oppo Rancisis. Will either of these killings succeed, or will both? Meanwhile, a group of Anzati infiltrate the Republic encampment to assasinate Oppo Rancisis, the Jedi Master whose battle medition has been preventing the Separatists from attaining victory. While a battle rages in a Separatist-occupied city on Saleucami, Quinlan is sent by Count Dooku to kill his former master Tholme, who has been sabotaging the Separatist's operation for months.
