I’m not sure, but it’s a cool concept for many many fanarts.

If you’re telling me this right now, then yes. But back in 2014 people really really really wanted her to be in the show.
…in the hypothetical Sunset returns to Equestria as imagined by me and other fans in 2014 and 2015 she would likely be co-leader of the group with Twilight, or least second-in-charge (the role usually taken by Applejack).
Starlight on the other hand doesn’t seem like a Sunset stand-in for the show whatsoever in hindsight, besides both having been good at magic and using it for villainous purposes at one point in their lives. Starlight is always playing second-fiddle to Twilight in the show, whereas the dynamic is reversed in EQG with Sci-Twi and Sunset respectively, and in the hypothetical Sunset returns to Equestria as imagined by me and other fans in 2014 and 2015 she would likely be co-leader of the group with Twilight, or least second-in-charge (the role usually taken by Applejack).

Far better that I have a student who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice than one who only looks out for her own best interests.
My only contention with the shows we got in terms of Sunset in them was that there should’ve been more crossovers, and more interactions between the two settings. I’m glad we got her reconciling with Celestia, but would’ve liked to have seen more of her pre-EQG history in Equestria.
You’d also think there’d be a bit of a potential negative history between her and Cadance.
Starlight just isn’t a natural leader like Sunset is, and she’s generally more of a wreck than Reformed!Sunset is. She’s generally happy to follow Twilight’s lead, aside from when she feels Twilight isn’t living up to herself, at which point she’d point it out, whereas Sunset is very, very comfortable taking charge as a first resort after Rainbow Rocks.Even their friend circles contrast, in that Starlight tends to attract misfits as friends, and that was the entire reason her cult was attractive, whereas Sunset seems to be closest friends with the Human Five (then Six). Sunset as a villain really couldn’t care less about friendship but she’s more naturally charismatic, whereas Starlight wishes she generally had that much charisma, but gets by on having some insight into psychology and believing (on some level) what she’s spouting.
