The Acolyte episode 6 saw Qimir doing his very best to seduce Osha to the dark side (and we do mean literally), but one line of dialogue in particular has Star Wars fans speculating about his past. Qimir reveals he was once a Jedi "a long time ago," and, when pressed by Osha, who has never heard of him, he reiterates: "It was a really long time ago." So, does that mean Qimir is a lot older than he appears? It's certainly possible, especially since he's a Sith.
We know how much the Sith love to find ways to try and cheat death...
"Look up Essence Transfer from the Darth Bane books!" is one fan's response . "It is very possible that this isn't his first body. They've already started to bring in stuff like cortosis from the Legends books.
From the books it says, "Essence transfer is the secret of eternal life. The physical body will always weaken and fail, yet it is nothing but a shell or vessel. When it is time, it is possible to transfer your consciousness—your spirit—into a new vessel.
.." This is what Darth Bane attempted to do to Darth Zannah in their last fight.
" Another fan theorizes that humans just age slower in the galaxy far, far away: "For example, Qui-Gon was 60 when he died. Dooku was 83 when he died. Palpatine was 65 when he became emperor (granted, his fairly youthful appearance for mid-60s prior to the fight against Mace could be chalked up to Sith alchemy.
Although there's nothing to say that's not what he would have looked like had he not been a Sith). Base.
