Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Cut NSYNC Cameo Revealed By Joey Fatone
While Star Wars: Attack of the Clones featured iconic stars like Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christopher Lee, the second prequel narrowly missed out on a cameo from the illustrious pop band, NSYNC, according to Joey Fatone. Attack of the Clones premiered in 2002 as the second part to the Star Wars prequel trilogy to the original George Lucas trilogy. In the episode, ten years after The Phantom Menace takes place, a separatist movement threatens the Republic and begins the Clone Wars, which will eventually unravel the republic.
The Star Wars franchise has featured many actors, musicians, and celebrities in cameos over the course of 11 movies and several more spinoff television series, some even as recurring characters. For instance, actor Danny Trejo and musician Thundercat both recently made brief appearances in The Book of Boba Fett. Trejo appeared in episode 3 as a Rancor trainer who teaches Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) about his gift from the Hutt twins, and Thundercat comes in the next episode as a space mechanic who attaches machine parts to people to create a sort of human/droid hybrid.
