Buck Testa 5,505 March 5, 2016 Share March 5, 2016 (edited) rules: if your only contribution to the conversation is "its just a kid show" or "you are overthinking it" then please refrain from commenting. Those comments are only meant to stifle conversation. So doctor Wolf posted a video asking the very interesting question: Is Sunburst related to or is actually Starswirl the bearded. He sights the visual similarities between the two such as his cape, beard, and the fact that Starswirl is a time traveler. Its an interesting theory that I'd like to play around with. While I don't think he is Starswirl, The possibility COULD be made that he could be the father of StarSwirl. Again, given that Starswirl is a time traveler, there is no reason why he couldn't of been born at any point in time, including current day Equestria. Starlight Glimmer also already knows something of Time travel thanks to the season finale. Given that Starlight and presumably Sunburst are both incredibly capable unicorns in their own right with wide ranges of magical knowledge (Sunburst DID go an study at the same school twilight did) then them giving birth to one of the most powerful Unicorns in history Really isn't all that crazy. That would explain how Starswirl knows how to be at these key points in history like the Sirens and what not, he would of done those things because he would of HEARD about doing those things when he was a foal. Hell, Starlight and Sunburst could name their son Starswirl as an homage to the Great Starswirl when in actual fact that baby WOULD be that same Starswirl. If that is the case, then if he were to train under Twilight as he grew up, and then went back in time to do all the things that he was supposed to do, then Twilight would then be idolizing and dressing up as her future student in a sense. Twilight would of been the pony that trained Starswirl who went back in time to teach the princesses who in turn would come to Teach Twilight the things she would eventually teach Starswirl... Time travel So what do you think, do you think that Starlight and Sunburst might end up having a foal that turns into the Plot device Wizard Pony we've been hearing about all this time?

Sidral Mundet 1,666 March 5, 2016 Share March 5, 2016 Damn it! I thought of Sunburst and Starlight being Starswirl's parents. Guess great minds think alike. Too bad I can't prove that I came up with this on my own though. Also I'm still holding out that Starlight Glimmer is Flurry Hearts from the future, also with her wings taken away from her by Starlight in order to contain her power, making it sort of a predestination paradox. 2 Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

MAIKUN 262 March 5, 2016 Share March 5, 2016 (GASPS) I knew it. I KNEW IT!!! Sunburst could be related to Starswirl The Bearded? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel bad, technically Doctor Wolf beat us both to the punch XD Still I'll be pretty impressed if they do that, that would tie up the show in a nice little bow I think. http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 28,138 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 I think he's a descendant of Starswirl, but that's it, I don't think it's any thing more elaborate than that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggg-2 3,555 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Twilight dressed in a beard and star cloak, SHE must related to Starswirl too! .....But seriously, i think people are looking way too far into this. Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkiePie97 913 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 It is an interesting theory. Not sure if it's right, though. Perhaps Sunburst is descended from Starswirl. Or maybe he just likes dressing up as him.

CandyStrike 603 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Whoa! I never thought of it but it totally looks like he could be. It would be awesome if Starlight and Sunburst were Starswirl's parents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he just likes dressing up as him. Neither am I, but I'd be incredibly impressed with the writers if they pulled something like that off. It would wrap up the series and tie up all those unanswered questions in such a tidy little bow. I hope they do that. 1 http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,964 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 This definitely is an interesting theory, and to be honest I actually kind of like the idea of Starlight being connected to Starswirl the Bearded somehow. It would definitely explain how she was able to use the time traveling spell as well as her insane magical power from the finale. Also it would be a really cool way to wrap up the whole Starswirl mythos this show has had sense season 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLPFanatic34 3,241 March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 That would be cool if Sunburst and Starlight are related to Starswirl and it certainly could explain Starlight's extreme magical talent and the time travel spell. I do hope they show Starswirl in season 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggg-2 3,555 March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 In all seriousness, i don't think Sunburst is related to Starswirl. If you think about it, if you admired someone enough, wouldn't you want to emulate them as much as possible? Don't be a nerd. Join the herd!

Riganthor 484 March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I love this headcanon and I think that if this is going to be real canon I will love the everloving horse apples out off season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Bat 3,568 May 17, 2017 Share May 17, 2017 Dang this is a strong point... Like sunburst was talented at magic from birth as starlight described him and the way starswirl is depicted by all who know of him cause it to match up quite nicely. But didn't he already have parents like a mom and a dad in the show that sent him to study magic when he got his cutie mark? My Ocs: The Chaos Siblings Maple Bat and Woodland Orchestra.

Jeric 46,884 May 17, 2017 Share May 17, 2017 This theory is currently one of my headcanons. I actually fist pumped when I first saw the video that Dr. Wolf posted. I'm also hoping that Twilight's fantasy was actually hidden precognition, and that Sunburst and Starlight will actually create the 'Lost' spell in the finale and wind up interacting with the ancestors of the Mane Six.
