Though some people are saying that was a means of sugarcoating it for both the students and the audience, seeing how nervous she was when she told them she just banished him. Besides, she did say "ghost" instead of "astral projection", and Discord's ghost form was all white with a tail in place of legs.

Which raises more questions if it means Starlight can revive people (like Hope with Sombra in the comics), and ghosts are canon in the show (adding more fuel to the Storm King ghost theory).

Or maybe he just made his astral projection LOOK super-ghostly to make the students THINK she killed him and he was haunting them. Whatever, if they did really intend that she temporarily killed him they're not going to say it outright like with Sombra, even though he still lives at the end of the episode.
