Just hoping it's an actual "legion" and not just applying that name to a group of villains. It always irks me when media pulls crap like that; a dozen or so combatants does not make an army. It'd be nice if the bad guys could assemble some actual minions to their side: the monsters of Tartarus, various races of nasty creatures-maybe even some animated skeletons or something if Grogar is going to be a full-on necromancer. That's sad to hear; I could understand people being upset by such a change, but I'd wait to see how it actually turns out before just giving up on the series entirely.

Somehow I doubt that Celestia and Luna are just going to pass everything over to Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 and fly off to the middle of nowhere. I'd imagine they'll be around to help out if needed. For that matter, Star Swirl was present in the most recent trailer, so I'd imagine he'll help out too. As for Twilight having a lot to do, Celestia also ran a school while serving as ruler of Equestria, so I'd imagine there's some kind of infrastructure in place to help out. I mean, it seems like most pony communities have a mayor or some other official who runs things.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the school situation; helping Twilight oversee Equestria and balancing both teaching and their chosen careers seems like a lot to ask of the Mane 5. And then of course there's the fact that, unless it gets shut down by the destruction of the Tree of Harmony, the Cutie Map will presumably still send them on missions. Of course, they could always have Starlight take over as headmare and recruit a new faculty; possibly even the Young Six, as it looks like they might be graduating sometime during the season.
