'N Sync Cut from "Clones"?
--------------------------
Say "Bye, Bye, Bye" to the boys of 'N Sync: All that public
moaning over their brief cameo in the upcoming Star Wars
prequel may have sealed their fate on the cutting-room floor.

So claims 'N Sync (news - web sites)-er Joey Fatone, who
called into Tampa, Florida, radio station WFLZ-FM this week
to personally deliver the, um, bad news that a battle-scene
cameo they shot for Episode II--Attack of the Clones has been
cut because of the subsequent fan uproar.

"I'm going to make it officially known that they dropped it
because people made a big deal about it," said Fatone, who
sounded a tad perturbed about the development. "We're not
going to be in it, and I'm not going to comment on it any more."

So can those griping Star Wars fans finally breath easy? Not
quite. Lucasfilm spokeswoman Lynn Hale wouldn't confirm
Thursday whether 'N Sync will or will not appear in the final
cut of Clones, saying "it's just too early to make that decision."

"The 'N Sync guys were shot as extras, and whether they're in or
out won't be determined until the final edit," Hale says.

Even if they do make the final cut when Episode II is released
May 16, don't expect the on-screen cameo to be very noticeable.
Despite rumors that George Lucas cast the boys to appease his
boy-band-crazy daughters, Lance Bass told Entertainment Weekly
that he and his bandmates were enlisted for the scene while they
were at Lucas' California sound studios last fall working on
their concert video Pop Odyssey Live.

When Fatone mentioned they were huge Star Wars fans, producer
Rick McCallum cast them as Jedi Knights alongside hundreds of
other extras in one of the film's battle scenes.

Not all the 'N Sync-ers nabbed the nonspeaking, noncredited
parts; Bass said "there was only room for four guys"--Justin
Timberlake couldn't make the December shoot and Bass had a
scheduling conflict, so "I gave the scene to Steve, Joey's
brother," he said. "It broke my heart."

His wasn't the only heart broken over the casting. Star Wars
geeks let out a collective yelp last week when word leaked that
'N Sync shot a scene for Clones, no matter how brief and
inconsequential it may have been.

But Lucasfilm rep Hale denies that public criticism will have
any effect on whether the boys stay or go from the film. "George
makes all his decisions himself," Hale added. "And the final
edit of the film is what he determines it will be."

If you need any more proof, just remember this, folks: Jar Jar
is coming back.

YES!

I knew my complaining about cutting them would be affective.

Lucas listens to me.

So it will be determined by the timing and pacing of the movie!

Good news!

I thought that it made no sense for GL to remove them out of "bowing
to fan pressure" - I mean, this is no big deal, even if Star Trek fans
can make Stephen Hawking jokes - but I feared that GL might have
removed them out of ego, since the fuss about them was distracting
from *his* cinematic achievement.

Because that, rather than bowing to pressure, is what his track record
tends to indicate.

I'm glad that I'm wrong, and he will put the film first! This is what
I call *good* news, regardless of whether or not those guys from
N*Sync get on screen or not. That is a trivial matter, compared to the
victory of art over ego!

I wouldn't ask for that, myself.

Of course, one of them has a girlfriend who is quite pretty - now,
they could give *her* a major speaking role.

Wouldn't that cause an implosion of the timeline?

Or do we find out that ESB and RotJ featured his clone?

What is it with this group and timelines? This is the third timeline
paradox i've read here in the past few days. Yoda is not a clone, at least
he better not be.

If he were a clone his name would be Yooda.

What if it turned out that they were supposed to kill Jar Jar? Now the
scene has been taken out. That aught make them discombobulated.

Lucas can just as easily say that they've been cut from the film, leave it in
anyway, and no one would even notice they were there. From what I've read
about it, in the article posted here and others, they're on screen for less
than a second, with hundreds of others, in the background.

They're not going to be cut, film reps are not going to say anything about it
either way so that all those fans who are making an uproar can believe whatever
they want to make them happy, but later if it leaks out that they WERE in the
film after all, they can't say they lied either.

inadvertantly? In a long routine of slapstick travesty?

I'd be up for that.

ROFL! Oh, man... the imagery. And to think it all started with Jar
Jar slipping on a pile of poo.
