I figure that Tirek will be Twilight Sparkle's arch-foe with Star Swirl the Bearded as her Wise Old Master advising her on how best to confront his threat.

Maybe the entire of season 8 will be about old antagonists returning for a second shot (Gladmane, Iron Will, Lighning Dust, Suri Polomare and Zesty Gormand immediately jump to mind. Perhaps the season theme will be "Acts of Vengeance". This will be offset by a IDW comic mini-series starring Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich called "Acts of Idiocy".
