IF "Star Wars" fans have any faith left after the creation of Jar-Jar Binks, they may throw in the towel when they get a load of the latest casting news from "Attack of the Clones." The boys of *NSYNC have a cameo in the upcoming prequel, according to various fan sites. It seems George Lucas is slipping the teeny-poppers in to please his two adopted daughters, who worship the boy band. The kids appear for only a nanosecond, as anonymous Jedi knights in the background of a climactic battle scene. Then they get blown up by "battle droids."

If they really did have a cameo in the movie, wouldn't we all have found out about this when they were shooting the movie, not when it's five months from release?

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.
