'N Sync Officially in Star Wars: Episode II

By Jack January 2, 2002 3:59 PM

I don't know if the urge to hunt George Lucas down and scalp him is healthy, but I think this time he's gone too far. We the fans were very merciful when he presented us with Jar Jar in Episode I and no one really dwelled on Howard the Duck but 'N Sync? What's next Brittany Spears? This is unforgivable.

A Lucasfilm spokeswoman confirmed [today] what Star Wars fan sites had been buzzing about for days, saying the fivesome will appear briefly in a "big scene."

The good news is that they will only be extras which means no talking (and heaven forbid singing). Be careful George, you'll still get people to watch this one but there can't be too many freebies left.

Apparently, Lucas was looking for a way to make C3P0 look less gay.

In SW3, C3PO will get lubricated with the female robot in the beginning of Phantom Menace.

all of you are jealous.  it's not like they're gonna be on for more than one second anyways.  being a part of it is cool enough and apparently some of you are sitting at home wishing for the opportunity.

Its like doing the Matrix except with computer generated clones and N'Sync will be making sure that everybody is In Sync and George Lucas will be in there partying with them while he becomes more senile.  I think he waited far too long to make these prequels, hes not as young as he used to be and it seems that he has come up with a lot of ways to f*ck up the whole series with all the spare time hes had since episode 4,5 & 6.  Perfect example, Jar Jar Binks and that hovering, fat thing with a big nose.  Episode 3 will probably be a full on musical :(

excuse me but i hate to admit it but i kind of like nsync, and i even think it's gay they're going to be in star wars, this is a movie for good actors, not teen pop icons, i can't think whats worse, the way they'll dress or how they'll do their hair.

They are bring back to life with CGI. But even THX system could make them sound good.

Lucas has lost his mind.
Why doesn't he cast Richard Simmons as a Jedi master to train the young padawans? wouldn't surprise me a bit at this point.
I find myself completely disillusioned with the whole prequel scenerio....
