DISQUS

Sure, why not! I'm sure that deep, down inside of George Lucas' noggin he is questioning himself and his handling of the prequel trilogy. The first one was muddled and disappointing at best, the 2nd & 3rd films were better however not up to the original trilogies lofty entertainment achievement levels. This would be his way to make what appears to be a ready-made good script that just needs to be fleshed out and appeal to the legions of fans of 'the dark side'. Personally I would much rather see him work on Star Wars 7 (part 3 ½) rather than Indy-5 or the Red Tails movie he is doing. He probably felt a bit boxed in writing the prequels as he did need to fit timelines, characters, etc into what we all saw the future would bring to his fantasy world. This would be a way he could step out a bit and explore the fringes of the star wars galaxy and hopefully cap off an exciting franchise that lost a bit of luster the last decade or so...

Bruce Arena, who has a thorough understanding of U.S. soccer, and has coached big-name talent at all levels do worse than Ruud Gullit? I never did understand the hiring of Gullit, I mean here was a failed EPL coach that was out of coaching for years and sitting at home in Europe and of all the former coaches from all leagues thoughout the globe, the Galaxy feels he's the best coach for them? I bet Ruud didn't know a single Galaxy player not named David or Landon, or even what teams played in the MLS. Bruce Arena will be nothing but an improvement, and he gives AEG someone they can trust that knows what he is doing.

BTW maybe as good as hiring Bruce Arena is, the firing of clueless Alexi Lalas is just as big. Sheesh, finally! I truly think he made personnel decisions by placing player names into a hat and signing or trading the players he picked out...

If this does go 7 games, i wouldn't be surprised to see a 22million or more viewship for that game. I'd go over on 15million average if it goes6-7, under or right at 15 if it goes 5 gms...
