@Doopliss Why are you so convinced that the Nightmare Moon thing can't be a flashback? No offense, but you're the main reason I think they're killing Luna off because you're starting to convince me of it. But everything else I know straight:


 * Twilight appears in an unfamiliar area, probably the ruin of the Everfree Forest when it was Celestia and Luna's castle, which would obviously look different 1000 years ago than it does now.


 * Luna never mentions Twilight's name. For all we know Celestia could be standing right behind her. Think of the Penseive in Harry Potter


 * Luna says "While they all basked in your precious light", which Twilight doesn't get what she means. By "precious light" she's probably referring to the daytime, because of Celestia raising the sun. Remember Luna/Nightmare Moon's backstory from the first episode.


 * The summary says Twilight will discover the history of the Elements of Harmony. Maybe it's taking her on a flashback of their use 1000 years ago, in reverse order. Maybe they did use the Elements to defeat Sombra, I'd like to see him in a flashback (but not a retcon or revival on his death, that would ruin it for me). Why only her I don't know, maybe it's a sort of cave she volunteers to go through, but obviously is unaware of the "flashback" element.


 * Can Nightmare Moon really expand the Everfree Forest? We know she's a shapeshifter, and that she can create evil faces on trees, but that was mostly for scare. We of course know, being an evil side of Luna, she can bring night and keep it that way, and apparently banish Celestia inside the sun. But is her magic so powerful it can do that to the Everfree Forest? One of the reasons I think Chrysalis is unlikely to be the villain as well unless it's revealing a power she has that we didn't know about.
