- The 2002 film "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" was originally set to feature a cameo appearance by the popular 90s boy band *NSYNC. The cameo was planned to have the members of *NSYNC playing Jedi knights in the background of a scene, but it was ultimately cut from the final version of the film.

- According to the article, the *NSYNC cameo was filmed but then removed during the editing process. The decision to cut the cameo was likely made due to concerns that it would distract from the core narrative of the film and take the audience out of the immersive Star Wars universe.

- While fans were disappointed to miss out on the *NSYNC cameo, the article notes that the band did end up making a brief appearance in the 2002 film "Longshot," which featured a scene set at a Star Wars convention. This allowed the members of *NSYNC to still be part of the Star Wars universe, even if their planned cameo in "Attack of the Clones" was ultimately cut.
