Does anyone know how Jedi Master Tholme dies? I know he faked his death and came back as a test for Quinlan in Republic 76 & 77, but what after that? Thanks.

Heh. The last Republic I read was 73 I think, so I don't know any more than you. :)
But I read someplace that he survived Order 66-though he'll probably be killed off soon; we don't need yet another prequel Jedi surviving into the OT or later.
-
He hasn't shown up since 79, I believe. I haven't read the Kashyyyk series yet though.
-
He's mentioned by Khaleen to Quinlan in issue 81. T'ra Saa was trying to get him to go to Nar Shaddaa to get away from the Jedi lifestyle for a bit right before Order 66 was issued.

How convenient. ::)

Tholme was last seen alive and well eight months after Order 66 on Kashyyyk during the last four pages of Republic #83.

And how does this bug you?

Order 66 doesn't carry much weight for me if all the Jedi died...except all the ones we like that weren't in the movie. Order 66 was supposed to finish the Jedi, it would be nonesense if such superhero-like characters just sat around for 18 years.

Why would it be nonsense?
I think it logic if a whole galaxy is searching for you and wants to kill you, you go hiding and stay unnoticed.

I would have really enjoyed lucas showing one or two of the (non Yoda/NonObi) jedi surviving Order 66. It was all to easy killing the jedi that he picked to show dying. Lucas made a number of point purely for the EU. He could have shown, definitively, that Jedi were able to survive the initial attempt on their lives.

I think Jude Watson should make a novel on Quinlan Vos and it would tell what happened to Tholme.

I wonder if any of this will be flushed out in the new Clone Wars animated shorts? I'd think that Order 66 wasn't just a one just "just in the movie" kind of thing- just the beginning of the hunt to destroy the Jedi. It probably took years before the rogue Jedi were hunted down by Vader.
There are so many things in the SW universe that we need flushed out.

So was Tholme's right leg a fake one or not? There's a pic of him in a Republic comic in a medical frigate with his leg stretched out, and it has a metal casing over it. He says that he'd rather not get a cybernetic leg because it'd make him something he's not, but at the same time, the leg looks pretty much like a prosthetic.
