Is he dead?
Maybe he time traveled to the future and we'll get an episode with him. Or entire flashback episode, or at least 2 frames long flashback.

Personally I still like the theory that Starswirl got consumed by his magic and twisted himself into Discord.

Celestia laughed at him because he had no friends, so he killed himself.

One of the endless things that NEVER EVER thanks to Meghan, Josh and Jim's utter incompetence.

I'd rather stick to headcanon than have the current writers fuck up the character and make it canon.

I've always had the headcanon that he's Twi's Owl. I always found it suspicious that he came out of nowhere to be Twilight's assistant.

I want to imagine that he went beyond this timeline to sow the seeds of the past that would create the future he wanted

It was a cool headcanon, but the writers would never

I can only hope so. If they were to attempt to introduce Starswirl now they would only ruin him.
My theory; Starswirl isn't dead, he's either traveling through time, or he's a planeswalker and visiting all sorts of alternate universes. According to Celestia's journal age is no longer a problem for him.

That time scroll disappeared through a time portal at the end of S5 all by itself...or did it? Starswirl probably summoned it to himself to prevent anyone else dicking around with time.
