If you thought Jar-Jar Binks was bad, MTV.com is running a story that a few members of 'NSYNC will be making cameos in Episode II. I think the target demographic for these films has changed a little since the original trilogy. Oh well, at least LOTR rocked." The MTV article says that NSYNC asked for the part; an article in a UK tabloid says Lucas asked them.

    Now you know why Episode II is called Attack of the Clones. ;p

    There is some delicious irony to having members of a boy band in a movie called 'Attack of the Clones' don't you think?

    That's what I think also. I wish that all of the other boy bands were viciously killed seconds after they were on screen. I would love to see a whole battle where it nothing but shitty ass boy bands being mutilated and destroyed.

  4. Demographic Change? by Un1v4c · · Score: 2, Redundant


    um...I was about 12 or 13 when I first saw Star Wars.
    I don't think the demographic has changed, in fact, I think its still the same.

  5. Well duh by smaughster · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It only makes sense to add NSYNC to this movie. It's called "Attack of the Clones", and we all know that boy bands are cloned of each other, so why not?

    Can you name any other reason that he might have to put NSync in one of his movies? I can't.
