That's pretty much how I'd explain it, and I'll be surprised if something else becomes the most-agreed-upon fanon explanation (assuming the show doesn't explain it, which it probably won't)

There's four or five thoughts about it floating about now. I'm happy to settle with whatever the writers come up with, although leaving it ambiguous would work just as well for me.

Wait, does that mean Lauren Faust already had no involvement whatsoever anymore at the point this episode was conceived?

Fanon from Faust?

I'm more interested in the last part of what she said. this here means that Lauren is no longer a source of "Word of God" in every case.

she had initial input, but she no longer has authority over the rest of production.

If they don't explain it next episode, this is now canon.

This isn't really "Word of God" anymore

Is this something the writers suggest in any case, or is it just done by the storyboarding team/character designers etc...

Faust Canon > Actual Canon

Faust has been out of the loop for MONTHS. As consulting producer, she only helped with the pre-production phase, but she has NO input on anything that changes for the Post-Production phase.

Her words are no longer "Word of God". Anything she says can easily be retconned by the guys running the show now.

If we, the fans, all came to that conclusion, I think it's a good bet that the rest of the crew would be in accord with it, too. Occam's razor.

So Luna depowering is canon according to faust.

But who knows, maybe it's really just her Celestia costume ?

If Faust says it, its canon.<period!

regardless, I think it's best to regard faust as "Word of Dante"

as the other producers have stated they want nothing more to stick with Lauren's plans, which she probably told them.

I think it's a fair guess.

Better than "LUNA IS A SUPER SAIYAN!!!1122!!!91891!"

My explanation: Luna got retconned.

Until I see the episode, I'm not entertaining any theories about magic levels and whatnot.

Right Now i think the trope you're thinking of is "Word Of Saint Paul" "Word Of Saint Paul"

I would like to think that she is probably half-right, instead of being completely wrong.

Faust is still God.

If God created us, but hasn't created a new species or had a direct hand in controlling human affairs since, is he not still God?
(Don't care if you're religious or not, follow the logic)

Faust created these ponies, this world, her pitch bible is still in use, she is still God. Even now that she's left the show, she's still the creator, still God.

Sure, but what if God left this universe, and only peaks in from time to time, but a NEW God has taken over, and handles all the day to day actives of managing the entire universe for the most part?

Does this not mean the new God is in fact God of the universe? Anything he does could override the original God since New God is now in control. Therefore, if new God turns all the grass blue, are we to say the grass is still green because that's the way it was under God #1's rule?

(Also, if this is going to be the explanation most people will followed (assuming it's not explained in the episode) then I say we DEPOWER Luna! You know... 'Cause she looks cuter that way!)

I just love it when slowly but surely TV Tropes leaks everywhere in the Internet.

"Word of Saint Lauren"... all my approval.

Anon, The phrase "Word of God" assumes the the person in question still knows everything that is going to happen because they are making it or have a big hand in leading it. It assumes said person is the ULTIMATE authority when it comes to story. Faust no longer fits that definition. She is no longer "god" as far as the phrase goes.

Kanashi1kage, wouldn't people who respect the show respect what it's creator has to say about it?
