Now, I won't lie. When I first saw the headline "Nsync 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...
