SSO Theory: Disco is the ex-headmaster of Star Academy (no, seriously)

[@eleanornightwalker]

Update: I was notified that Linda sees a portrait of this guy in the trophy cabinet in Starshine Legacy episode 2. His name is Giobertus and he is a famous astronomer from the 1920s. In my opinion, this makes him important in the main story for two reasons: 1) he seems to be immortal, which makes me believe that he is indeed from a different dimension 2) being an astronomer, he is an expert on literally the root of all magic in Jorvik

[@axea2823]

True, I do hope it will soon be apart of the story

[@mia-fz8uw]

Just wanted to add that this winter, sso started this whole new thing about constellations and stars (relates to astronomy). And the New Years outfit was influenced by the 1920’s. Coincidence? I think NOT

[@abbeypenaluna134]

Nobody: Literaly nobody: Eleanor: Disco is the ex headmaster! Star Stable: She's done it again

[@StarkeeperLen]

XD

[@bbqbean301]

Great theorys! Disco will never be the same dog to me ever again 🤦‍♀️

[@eleanornightwalker]

Same 😂😂

[@dandfish]

That unenthusiastic "welcome to Jorvik" at the end got me xD But, seriously, this makes so much sense!

[@StarkeeperLen]

Same-

[@Graphi]

nothing will ever surprise me in jorvik tbh. also this theory made me wanna look into the star academy comics lmao, they seem a bit darker than the game from what you've showed in this vid :0

[@eleanornightwalker]

Haha, there are only two so it won't take long :P I have both of them uploaded as videos on my channel

[@Graphi]

thanks! i ll check that out :3c

[@alegria1813]

I love how teenagy it is SSO REALLY need to stop targeting little girls cause it's ruining the game AND most players are 14 and above

[@aricherry5636]

Mozambitch uhhhh im a nine year old and I play sso...:P

[@StarkeeperLen]

Same xD

[@silentwatcherka7726]

All I can say is holy sh- Also, imagine a former employee of Hidden Entertainment watching this video and being like oh man, someone figured it out! It’s really been 15 years, huh- I want to think they’ll bring Star Academy content to SSO, I mean, it was mentioned in the books that Lisa applied to the Academy of performing arts so hopefully they’ll talk more about it 🤷‍♀️ I’m still surprised that to this day they didn’t think of adding the Jorvik arena to SSO as a mean of some yearly event or something. I mean, the people from Star Academy could perform there and nowadays Lisa could have her own concerts with all those songs she has, The Miscreants and String Quartet, too. If this theory has been forgotten, I really hope someone from SSE sees this video :D

[@RimFaxxe]

Star Stable Online is being created by different people. Hidden Entertainment is no longer apart of the project since the last Star Stable game came out, the new team is distancing away from the old games

[@grob391]

In the open house we have a quest where the tour guide mentions that the jorvik stables arena was used for a concert. That's definitely hinting at something

[@silentwatcherka7726]

Ginger Allison: I JUST finished that quest and I screamed! xD Well, not literally, but I was like oh my god they acknowledged it! I really hope they bring it back 😌

[@eleanornightwalker]

Hmm, maybe the arena seen in SA was a temporary thing they built specifically for the Jorvik song contest? Like, I always found it strange how the arena *replaces* the stables on the SA map, and the arena doesn't have a roof in the game... soooo I think it's possible that the arena normally looks like in SSO, but that they set up a concert area for the Jorvik song contest 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@RimFaxxe]

@@eleanornightwalker very possible👀

[@ina3504]

*this is just the cutest theory in SSO so far*

[@ssoscar9539]

8:50. Welcome to Jorvik it’s just another day here. Galloping to feet, having enough energy to gallop all day and night and you disappear when your commander logs off.

[@kazumichan05]

Yesterday when I was playing SSO, I was shopping. When I walked into the mall, I saw that the platform (where in Star Academy you can sing to earn some money) had a makeover, and now you can't go up on the platform. It's strange that this particular place has changed while the rest of the mall is still the same. Afterwards I don't know if I'm getting too much ideas or I'm wrong, but hey if someone wants to explain this, then go ahead. PS : I'm really sorry for my english if yall don't understand, english isn't my first language Uptade : The platform has changed once again, it's back to the old one. It's really strange.

[@eleanornightwalker]

That really is something 0.0 I know that they tend to change up some things without telling us, but if it's just the scene then maybe they want to use it for something? I don't know if this is connected to Star Academy, because they could be using it for a lot of other things (didn't Raptor have concerts there back in the day?), but it could be 🤔

[@tishaprnucedteasha]

Its always been like that since raptor came in 2015 he used to peform there every thursday bu not anymore but the stage still acts like he's there

[@bellamcgale1354]

I wonder if Disco Is Techno's friend! You know the dog outside the riding arena? random theory thingy idk LOL

[@eleanornightwalker]

It's mentioned in a quest that he is his brother, but I have no idea how that works 🤔🤔🤔 like did someone "adopt" them both, or are they actually brothers (meaning that Techno is also a man)?

[@ariuthere]

@@eleanornightwalker I think they are both adopted because surely Techno would be more obedient if he was actually a man because in the quest where you have to take techno to the riding hall, you have to keep giving him treats to make him follow you. Maybe he's an actual dog and Disco was adopted with him is what i mean

[@eleanornightwalker]

Yeah, that, or the SSO team thinks that Disco is just a smart dog 😅

[@ariuthere]

@@eleanornightwalker yeah, maybe they don't want anyone to realise hes the headmaster so they just make one dog smart and one that just wants food because those are like the main traits of a dog. BTW love ur theories!

[@StarkeeperLen]

Or Techno is just obsessed with food and wants food and acts like a actual dog to get food-

[@Shyieko]

this channel is so underrated, finally, someone that played/read the past games and comics and gives theories based on them! Even tho sso is really becoming less and less connected to these games I think they might look at the past to at least inspire themselves and that might give us some clues!

[@randomvideos-qz2pt]

So something happened to disco that made him turn into a dog? Totally understand! You have such a way with words! ❤️ Edit: “so a man getting turned into a dog doesn’t seem that strange. *welcome to Jorvik* “

[@eleanornightwalker]

I really wish I knew how and why it happened, but sadly there's no evidence about that... it's just clear that it did happen... 🤔

[@Judithrosevalley]

I've never thought about this theory, but the way you explaining it sounds logical :)

[@rebeccacoolgoat2042]

Long stretch but what if the head master or ex head master found out about something he shouldn’t have and was turned into a dog to prevent him from telling anyone else which explains why he knows so much about the music healing and why he is so smart for a dog idk 😂

[@islaheafield2440]

I never thought about this but it makes so much sense! Wow!!

I love these theories!! Not only do they make a lot of sense but they are also so much fun to watch!!

[@nightsky1423]

[@Vexis_plays_games]

Honestly, Makes a bit of sense now that you mention it. Though there is always the possibility of Disco being more than just a dog/person. I know it's silly. But him possibly knowing the future could be a thing. Leading the soul riders to each other for this final fight in SSO.

[@sydneymiddleton3600]

Dogs running a school!? Sounds like an awesome idea to me.

[@eleanornightwalker]

😂😂😂

[@Kokiicat]

maybe disco was removed from silverglade village because they plan to bring him back when/if they bring back star academy? because its known that summer is ending in the main story line, and our character might have to go to school or something

Yes, I think they will be doing a school soon because they been having School Uniforms

"hes extremely smart for a dog-" well.. maybe my dog is the ex-headmaster of star academy.

[@Sylvie-th]

Don’t worry I have weird ideas to you know concord that’s going to happen to our starter horses to

[@Anto-ue2uc]

Really intresting theory. The whole thing made me think that maybe in the future, if Star Academy will be a thing in sso, we will may have a quest about Disco and idk changing him in human form? Like, everything in Jorvik can be possible 🤷‍♀️

[@eleanornightwalker]

It could be 🤔 I did make a video some time back talking about some signs that Star Academy may be seeing a return in the game, and it would be really interesting if we had a questline with Disco 🙊

this is so random and probably makes no sense but I was recently doing some old quest on my alt. I did the quest with Tyra at silverglade manor and in that quest you like get this dog (I forgot his name) and he lives at the riding arena. this dog just rlly gives me disco vibes. and ik Tyra also had to do with some of the earlier main story quest! this is so random lol.

[@AVan-uj4re]

So if Techno is Disco’s older brother, then maybe there’s something there as well that we don’t know about...

[@xx.clueless4096]

this is just an idea, but when you said Disco's shadow looked like a man you said " it either is a sneak peak of his owner or who disco is really " in my opinion the shadow looked like the man standing in the frame, you know with the spiky hair and the somewhat baggy clothes. PS. love your vids!

[@Avery-ul7gh]

At Wolf Hall Inn when you go inside Igor's kitchen there's a picture of Disco on the wall I'm confused... Was Igor in the original star stable games or comics?

[@eleanornightwalker]

He wasn't, but some of the wall art from previous games have been reused all over Jorvik. There's also one at the Fort Pinta Disco 😊

[@jabadeedeejabadabadoohh4875]

Are sso distancing themselves from the original games?? Recently i played starshine legacy and i thought the book jorvik calling really resembled the starshine legacy games(with some changes, but i recognised a lot from it)

[@eleanornightwalker]

I think it's always gonna be similar, because it is based on the original games, but they have updated the characters and graphics and backstories and all, so there's less and less similarities to the original games.. when they add new content, even if it's based on the originals, it will most definitely be changed up at least a little

[@tishaprnucedteasha]

Unrelated to the video but do u know Eleanor Weatin and Rebecah Westin they were in a story from the jorvik gazette when the game was first released, Eleanor works for GED and Rebecah is her daughter, the story takes place a year before events of sso sadly i cant find the story but either way its only in swedish

If this theory is correct ( which I hope), than that means the Fox from the hidden quest could also be a person. The MC can only talk to the fox as a horse, so what if Lisa was able to do that with Disco and that’s why she knows how to use music for healing? So, who is the fox? And why was it talking to the MC? This probably doesn’t make any sense, but hey, it’s 11:30pm and I barely slept last night so my mind isn’t all that logical.

[@eleanornightwalker]

I sure hope not... but I have found things from star academy mentioned in the game files, so it is actually possible that they're bringing some of it back

[@RimFaxxe]

Star Academy is not making a return. Sso is distancing themselves from the game, changing the original story that was built over the years and removing anything related to Star Academy because of the racist and offensive language used in the games. Sadly, they are only removing everything...

[@eleanornightwalker]

I know they are distancing themselves from the old games, but I made a video a while ago adressing some codes I found in the game files, including a music room, Lance in an auditorium, Kyomi's room and Kevin's dialogue icon. Disco's model was also removed in 2019, and Lisa attending Star Academy is still canon in the updated story. I therefore think it's likely that characters and maybe some other aspects from Star Academy will be seeing a return in SSO - probably a bit differently than we are used to, but still.
