Rock fans beware, Jar Jar Binks will not be the only character to turn off moviegoers to “Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones”, it appears that boy group N’Sync have signed on to make a brief appearance in the film. 

Lucasfilm confirmed the rumor that members of N’Sync have been asked to be extras in the film. A spokesperson for Lucasfilm told MTV News that the “boys” would make a brief appearance in the film during a "big scene with lots of extras". 

Speculation runs rampant as to why N’Sync was asked to appear in the film. The New York Post says that is was the daughters of George Lucas who talked daddy into having the “boys” in the film. However, a Lucasfilm spokesperson told E! Online that it was the members of the group who approached the film’s producer Rick McCallum requesting a part in the film since they are big fans of the franchise. The antiMUSIC guess is that Lucusfilm agreed to have the “boys” in the film to sell movie tickets to the group’s large fanbase. But will the film be released in time to cash in on N’Sync’s popularity? Or will the group’s fifteen minutes run out before then with the film coming out after their fans had said “Bye Bye Bye” and moved on to the next “big thing”?  Time will tell but until then “May the Farce Be With You”.
