I think Lullaby for a Princess music video did justice to the history of Princess Luna and Celestia, even after banishing Luna to the moon for a thousand years, Celestia must have been heartbroken. It would not have been an easy decision for her, some people may think she was at fault for this, but people need to try to imagine themselves in her hooves, what would they had done differently if their own sibling went on a rampage because of a misunderstanding that turned violent? it would not have been fair or reasonable, to expect Celestia to just let herself be killed in battle. Of course I like Princess Luna, however as you said, to serve her is to also honor her sister. I don't support the animosity some fans have toward Celestia either, it is not easy to rule a Kingdom, even in the real world, politics is difficult. What I like about Princess Celestia in MLP FIM show, she rules her Kingdom without causing war, where others resorted to violence, she shown mercy, so yes, I do love Celestia, I don't agree with every decision she has made however disagreements can occur with civility and compassion, there is a thing called being bipartisan.

I don't like that video.
I know that places me in a very small minority.
It's a jewel of the fandom by a very solid majority consensus.
Nothing is going to change that.
What happened was terrible, it was a public tragedy and disaster for Equestria, a family tragedy for the Princesses and worst of all a very dramatic magical imbalance.
So, ponies everywhere are going to try to deal with it in their own ways, and some pony made the video, and it seems to have struck a chord and resonated with a great many ponies. Which is fine. I don't agree. I don't like the video, I have my reasons.
But, I am not an unbiased voice, though I might counter that by saying that on this matter, no one is unbiased, and that in itself is a good thing.
Equestria is not what it is because ponies tend to take an objective view of things.

That is fine, I cannot say I liked the ending of the official show from G4 though, while I suppose Princess Celestia and Princess Luna would have to retire some time, the way that was done was careless, and out of character, you see, Princess Twilight Sparkle needed more time to prepare for her eventual coronation in my opinion. This could have been dealt with in G5. A story about new Ponies as well as Mane Six ruling Equestria with balance in mind. In my fan fiction of MLP after some thought, if I continue on writing it, I will write the story in a way that leads up to Luna's and Celestia's retirement, but as Alicorns who have served their duties and are immortal, they ascend to Nirvana, a higher state of being, in this state they exist in a realm of eternal peace, they can go almost anywhere in the multiverse (A bit like Goku at the end of Dragonball GT), and voluntarily give guidance to any mortal who needs or wants it from them. Adding a bit of eastern mythology enhances the magical aspect of Equestria IMO.
