N'Sync Cut from Star Wars

**James Harvey** · 01-10-2002, 10:19 AM

Rejoice, fans! http://www.comingsoon.net reported:

Boy, what the difference a fan-base can make. It looks like all the complaints from "Star Wars" fans have paid off, and for what reason - heck if we know. Members of *NSYNC will not be seen in "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones".

'John' alerted us this morning that singer Joey Fatone called into the Carson Radio Show (99.3 FLZ) with word that the group had been cut from the film, saying "I'm going to make it officially known they dropped it because people made a big deal about it...we stopped by the set and it was like a little small thing and we're not going to be in it, and I'm not going to comment on it anymore."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

:Maxie pauses to wipe away tears of laughter:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Sweet....I now don't hate the band entirely..why? cuz they cut themselves...

But...ya know what this means? We'll probably get that as a deleted-scene on the DVD

I hope they put that scene on the DVD. I still wanna see them get blow'd up.

Hmm. Joey didn't sound too happy about that. Good.

Good to see that fans can make a difference and that someone out there is listening...

although I don't see anything wrong with a scene portraying them being killed!

**RockItShipper** · 01-10-2002, 10:43 AM

Well, they can take comfort in having been in "On the Line"...

George Lucas must know that he's on thin ice with his fans, so he's more likely to bow to pressure (note that Jar-Jar has only a small cameo).

I almost feel bad for N'Sync. They were nice enough to agree to die in their scene. I hope that it's on the DVD.

Lucas didn't cast them. the producer (McCallum) did. Lucas had nothing to do with it.

Just thought I'd say that...

and I do sorta feel bad for N*Sync now. I mean, they would've died for cryin' out loud!

UNLESS..they are still going to be in it, but since they said they WEREN'T..we won't notice them....

I'm sure it`ll be hyped for the DVD release. I hear that the DVD for SW: Ep2 will follow "regular DVD release" practices - meaning it'll be released like any other hit movie about 5 - 6 months after the movie opens.

**Trent Lane** · 01-10-2002, 11:32 AM

I almost feel bad for Joey Fat One... well, no, no I don't. ::insert Nelson laugh here:: Thank you, movie gods. We've got enough pop cameos in movies this year, this topping them as the worst, so I won't lose any sleep over that cut. I'll take a *NSYNC death scene on DVD, tho...

Can't deny them a proper ending

Somehow this really doesn't surprise me. It felt like one of those rumor type things that get circulated and never transpired.

**James Harvey** · 01-10-2002, 11:53 AM

This isn't a rumor - it was true - well is true. They're just cut from the film now. And I['m glad. Ther SW franchise has made it aso far without resorting to cheap tricks like super star guest stars and the like. No need to do that now.

**Calhoun07** · 01-10-2002, 11:58 AM

I know it wasn't a rumor. It just felt like something you hear that people say will happen but never does. Kinda like a Batman Beyond live action movie. You know the stories you hear about it are true, but you just know in your heart of hearts that it will never happen. I knew deep down that Star Wars wouldn't give into such a publicity stunt (or is it too late? They already got plenty of publicity over this!)

**SilverKnight** · 01-10-2002, 12:15 PM

N'Sync? In Star Wars? Oh good God. Isn't that like one of the Horsemen of the Apocolyps or something?

But seriously, now... N'Sync + Movie = (I think I have to quote the Rainman, who said it best) "BAD, BAD, VERY BAD"

But to see them die...Hm... THAT would've been interesting. DIE, YOU PREPPY LITTLE JERKS, DIE!! >ahem< (...and yes I DO have issues...) >smiles<

Well, in either case. >does a jig< I'm so happy! N'Sync is not going to be wasting our space in Star Wars! Wee hee! Not that I'll see it anyway, but that's beside the point...>grins<

**Evil Dr. Reef** · 01-10-2002, 12:17 PM

Well, a big thanks-a-lot to all the people who complained about this. NOW I'll have to wait until next summer for the DVD to see N'Sync die! (This sentence edited for its graphic, and frequent use of the unspeakable "F-word")

**The Dork Knight** · 01-10-2002, 02:28 PM

Woo Hoo! Yay! No *N$UCK! (Meant to use dollar sign) STAR WARS IS SAFE ONCE AGAIN!

- Foley Is Good

**Elven Moon** · 01-10-2002, 02:52 PM

Wow, that was fast!

**Kathy Kane** · 01-10-2002, 03:54 PM

I too read this info on Aintitcool news and Dark Horizons.
It looks like the fanboys (and girls) may have the force on their side! Now if they could only have a Obi-Wan buck naked scene....
But seriously, I am overjoyed, and I now have a bit more faith in Lucas pulling this movie off, it maybe a lot better than Menace.

Bring it on, Lucas!!

Jedi Kane has spoken.

*Stands and applauds for the fans of Star Wars*

I'm going to go and tell my archnemesis, who has a fake marriage license with JC Chasez, this. She'll hate me even more! yay!

The only sad thing about this is we'll have to wait even longer to see N'Sync blown to bits. Oh well...the dream lives on.
