Uploader here: I think we all forgot something. Celestia banished Luna forever, but Luna broke free 1000 years later.

Banished forever =/= banished temporarily.
Luna broke out.

I have a theory as to why Celestia had intended to imprison Nightmare Moon/Luna forever. Basically Celestia wanted to save Luna from being Nightmare Moon, but feared that nopony would be able to do it.

or maybe she couldnt do it because she didnt have the power friendship cuz she was a god figure who just did her job. so she waited till she could get other ponies who were friends that could do it.

Canonically from the episode "Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: The Elements of Harmony! Using the magic of The Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the moon. "

http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Transcripts/Friendship_is_Magic,_part_1

However 1,000 years later, Luna was able to free herself (with the aid of the stars themselves).

Celestia's control over the Elements would have been haphazard 1,000 years ago. She (and theoretical other Element bearers) would have done their best, but priority number one would have been stopping Luna's rampage and protecting Equestria.

If that meant permanent (plus or minus loopholes) banishment for Luna? Equestria came first.

Kind of makes me wonder who set the four stars to converge on the moon to free Nightmare Moon. Was it allies or a backup plan of Moon herself? Or was it a plan by Celestia herself, to undo the permanence of the banishment done through the Elements of Harmony. Remember, the freeing happened during the point of the Summer Sun Celebration, the longest day of the year, when Celestia's power would arguably be at it's strongest- and she'd be far stronger now than she was a thousand years ago. Just hypothesizing...

There are six Elements of Harmony. We see an illustration of Celestia bearing what might be one when she banishes Luna. We also see some bling holding all six at one point.

Did Celestia wield all six? Was she only one of the Elements? Did six regular ponies take care of Luna , as they did in the modern era? We don't know.

But if I were to hazard a guess? There were six ponies (possibly including Celestia) wielding the Elements back then, and four of them were not cool with permanent banishment.

@anon 057 I don't think Celestia was cool with permanent banishment, she just didn't see any alternative. My guess is that she somehow wielded all six elements herself, but her + Elements of Harmony was not strong enough to save Luna from Nightmare Moon. Though that would imply Twilight + friends + Elements of Harmony > Celestia + Elements of Harmony, but I'm okay with that.
