Huh, Discord wasn't referenced at all during the play, interesting.
Speaking of which, there's something that's bugging me about this episode:
Why were Luna and Celestia on the flag if this was apparently before their reign?
Luna and Celestria came along some time later and took over rulership from the tribal ponies.
... though why they'd change from a proposed democracy to a monarchy is beyond me.
Maybe Discord caused the change in power? The deity ponies just came out of nowhere, beat Discord, and became rulers of Equestria.

Celestia in the show is actually PINK, I'm not kidding. Tilt your monitor back on a 1080p episode and you will see an off-white pinkish color.
Must be why the Hasbro toys are pink.
I've sometimes imagined Twilight to actually be a Princess, Princess Starlight. It's just that Celestia hasn't told her yet. Luna may or may not know. Depending on Celestia's mood.When you put it that way ... it makes you wonder why Celestria was powerless to stop Nightmare Moon and Discord in recent times if she put them away before. Particularly in Discord's case she could do nothing but advise over the current Elements of Harmony. Maybe another change in power is coming if its the strongest who rules over Equestria.
Guess:
[spoil]Celestria is the former wielder of the Element of Magic. Her powers were at their strongest 1,000 years ago when the other members of her group were still alive. Now that they're gone her powers have weakened and new bearers of the Elements were born.
Princess Luna was probably not an Element bearer since the Elements of Harmony were used against her. A part of the reason that she transformed into Nightmare Moon was in jealousy of her sister being the beloved 'Chosen One' that would bring peace to Equestria by being the wielder of the Elements.
The entire series works with the premise of Princess Celestria training Twlight Sparkle to be her successor. Not only in the Elements but as a future ruler over Equestria.
... but that's just a guess.[/spoil]

Gasp! Really? I always wondered why the toys were pink.

Celestia and Luna both used the elements against Discord, so she has to be an Element bearer.
Episode 1, Celestia clearly states that they both sealed Discord away using the Elements
She specifically said that her and Luna once used the Elements of Harmony against Discord. On that note, alot of people believe the reason that Celestia and Luna aren't connected to the EOH anymore is because of what happened between them 1000 years ago.
By the way, I am also one of those people that supports the theory of Twilight being the next Princess of Equestria, and that being the reason that Celestia decided to be her mentor in the first place. And yes, I am aware that the scene where we learn that is a subtle X-Men reference. But think of it. After all, her Element comes in the form of a crown (as she clearly states in Episode 2 of Season 2).
