More on *Nsync in 'Star Wars'
The ongoing saga of *Nsync and "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones" continues.
Die-hard "Star Wars" fans reacted angrily to news that several of the *Nsync boys had won cameos in the upcoming flick from George Lucas. Then, group member Joey Fatone said the popstars weren't going to make the final cut due to the negative reaction from fans.
"... I'm going to make it officially known that they dropped it because people made a big deal about it," Joey told E! Online last week. "We're not going to be in it, and I'm not going to comment on it any more."
But an official from LucasFilm said George Lucas still hadn't made the final cut of the film and would be the one who ultimately decides whether the boys are chopped from the reel or not.
Now, *Nsync's Chris Kirkpatrick is also saying there's a chance some of the group members will still show up in the movie.
"Yes and no. To be more specific, maybe," he told zap2it.com when asked about "Star Wars".
*Nsync's J.C. Chasez tried to ease "Star Wars" junkies' fears that their potential presence would wreck the movie.
"Don't worry about it, we're not Obi-Wan Kenobi," he told zap2it.com.
"You know, we were little kids with the light sabers running around, and it was real flattering to even just be at the ranch and hanging out," Chris said, "and I'm sure that if anybody who is as big a 'Star Wars' fan as us, if not bigger, would have gotten the same opportunity, they would have taken it."
