I don't know where the Star Swirl speculation came up but here are some things that make it impossible or impractical:

1. Discord is clearly another species while Starswirl is most likely a unicorn. Although no official picture is depicted, the fact Twilight dressed as him indicates this possibility

2. The body mass of Discord and the depicted Starswirl are vastly different. I know corruption can change appearance like with Spike, but at least with Spike, his body mass was reasonable for his growth. Starswirl and Discord, not so much.

3. Discord is depicted as the harbinger of chaos while Starswirl is the creator of magic and is fully studied. All of his history would be revealed at this point especially if he has a wing. So if he was Discord, why the hell doesn't Twilight know about it seeing how she obviously studied the guy?

4 and most importantly. Even if Starswirl wasn't a unicorn, could have the body mass as Discord, and even if the books didn't mention anything about about him being the Chaos master, Celestia didn't mention anything about it! You would think she would inform her student about something as big as that since she obviously knows Discord, but no! There was no warning, there was no hints, there wasn't even freaking request or demand on how to beat him! She just was like "lol go after him and stop him!" and now wants him reformed, which like I said makes me question her motives.

Feel free to list countertheories or even agree, but as it stands, Discord being Starswirl doesn't make any sense once so ever.
