*NSYNC almost went to a galaxy far, far away.
In an episode of Hot Ones that was released on Thursday, the recently reunited band opened up about how they were supposed to have a cameo in the 2002 Star Wars film Attack of the Clones but were cut from the final version.
Host Sean Evans asked the group featuring Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake and Lance Bass to confirm if it was true that they played Jedi Knights in one scene in the movie starring Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor.
“Ask these guys,” Bass, 44, said sarcastically on Hot Ones, while gesturing to Kirkpatrick, 51, Chasez, 47, and Fatone, 46.
“We were the three!” Kirkpatrick confirmed, referring to himself, Chasez and Fatone. “It never made it to the screen.”
