I was wondering how the flashback sequence with Luna would fit in with what Lauren Faust said, she hinted at Nightmare Moon being the embodiment of her jealousy possessing her while in that clip she is still clearly Luna when she makes the speech before she transforms

My guess is, the "outside force" the creators spoke of magnified her jealousy which was a slow process, at first the jealousy gets so powerful it sorta corrupts and influences her, and then, either on its own or when she decides to overthrow Celestia, it manifests into Nightmare Moon.

Although it is also true that this jealousy is a part of her, remembering everything from Luna's point of view when she was experiencing this resentment. So she still is Luna. Or at least she's part of her... the darkest part. (thumbs up if you get the reference)

Come to think of it, why is Twilight being sent into this flashback? Is she meant to play Celestia in it, kinda like an RPG? (that kind of thing could also eventually lead to a potential Sombra return without having to retcon his death) Is it leading up to this "outside force" and giving some insight as to every detail behind Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon?
