How Did I Not Get This Sooner? · 10:35pm Jul 11th, 2020
I only just today realized that Star Tracker's name isn't only a cute night-themed name joke to match with Twilight Sparkle, but also a direct reference to the fact that he's an obsessive fanboy! He literally. Tracks. Celebrities. IT WORKS ON TWO LEVELS
How'd you just now get that?!? I mean, be real it's kinda uncommon for a Earth Pony to have an astrological sounding name, yet the implications (plus his cutie-mark) are pretty solid on that statement.

Honestly I was too busy taking notes on his character to notice that those bits on his cutie mark were hoofprints, I thought it was just stardust falling off the star.
And I know this isn't the point, but I don't get why it would be unusual for a Earth Pony to have a star-related name. I just thought he was an aspiring astrologer.
i didn't know that actually well i haven't seen the show in a while

Ahh...that will happen. Also, I wouldn't say it's unusual...just uncommon, like you don't see many earth ponies with cosmos-sounding names.

That's actually a fair point, come to think of it...
Also, it makes him a Trakkie...

Yeah. I mean more often enough you have earth ponies with names that usually have to do with...well the earth or aspects of nature. a bit of an oddity to have one named for the stars (even if the stars in question are not of the twinkling nighttime variety).
I didn't get that, at least you were ahead of me
