STAR WARS AND N'SYNC - JEEZE! GET OVER IT!
A XipeTotec Rant

By Stephane Morrell

Now, I won't lie. When I first saw the headline "N’sync to Appear in Attack of the Clones" I thought the same thing everyone else thought. "Holy Crap! George really has lost his bolts!". Truth is though, that most people take everything they see in the media and newspapers and jump to conclusions.

People are so intent on their hatred of certain things, that they don't take a minute to think rationally. The truth here is that N'Sync was at Skywalker Ranch one day, and king George's daughters are huge N'Sync fans, so to give them a little kick, he decided to put them in the movie as extras. From what I understand, when they say extras, they MEAN extras! They were to be cloaked in Jedi garb, amongst hundreds of other Jedi, at which point they get blown to smithereens. If the headline had never seen the day of light, no one would have ever been the wiser!

Still, this gave the opportunity for people worldwide to start frothing at the mouth, and ranting and raving about the end of Lucas' sanity! That this is the last straw!! That this will turn the movie into a Dawson's Creek episode. Come on man!!! Get the hell over it!! They would have been the equivalent of Storm Troopers #4-8 for Pete's sake!

Never mind the fact that from a Star Wars fan point of view, this movie will be Uber Amazing. We're going to see the ever famously mentioned Clone Wars, we're going to see Jango and Boba Fett, more bounty hunters (Star Wars bounty hunters are always cool! Just look at Aurra Sing! ), Christopher Lee ( enough said! )... I mean this is VERY promising.

Look, I'm not a fan of N'Sync either... but for all I care, they could stick O.J. Simpson in a Jedi cloak in the background, IT'S NOT LIKE WE'D SEE HIM! Anyway, according to N'Sync, all the uproar led them to make a statement saying that they weren't going to appear in the movie after all... way to go all you whiners and criers. But you know what? George Lucas is not that easy to distract ( Never has. He's even got JarJar in the next movie so there! Nany-nany-boo-boo ) and the official statement from LucasFilm is that George does what *HE* wants and that nobody will know if N'Sync makes it into the movie until the last cut of the film... and I'll bet you'll have to look REEEEAAAAALLLLYYY hard to spot them if they do. So why don't you all just relax and stop scrutinizing everything for any little flaw...
