11. Boy Band NSYNC Filmed A Cameo For Attack Of The Clones

NSYNC €“ the American boy band famous for songs such as I Want You Back and Bye Bye Bye €“ filmed a cameo for Star Wars. Who knew? Around December 2001, rumours began to circulate that the band had filmed a scene for Attack Of The Clones. These rumours gained momentum, and it was soon reported that they had been given parts as Jedi and Naboo citizens. It was also reported that Lucas had chosen to include the band at the request of his daughters, who were big fans. Not long after, Lucasfilm indeed confirmed that the band had filmed a scene, though they denied that it was a favour for Lucas' daughters. In the end, it didn't matter - the cameo was ultimately cut. Many speculated that this was due to extremely negative fan reaction to the idea.
