If You Build It, They Will Come.

You guys... I'm really starting to hate Star Wars. Allow me to tell you why...

Episode 4: A New Hope. Very cool movie. Darth Vader. Han Solo, Chewabacca. Great movie. Death Star explodes, very very cool.

Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. Cool as well. Great tragic film. A small green muppet appears. His name is Yoda. Yoda is cool, but he can obviously be made into a plush doll for little kids. No big deal though, good movie. Luke finds out Vader is his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. Good. Cuter than A New Hope due to Yoda, and therefore possibly aimed at a younger audience at parts. Still good.

Episode 6: Return of the Jedi. This is where it gets a little tricky. We start off with the death of Jabba the Hutt. Cool, Leia kills him. Yoda dies, so the movie gets less cute... but as soon as he's gone, here come these little teddy bear things called Ewoks. Very plush doll-able. Still okay, I mean the Emperor dies, another Death Star explodes... cool I guess... getting too cute though. Too much for kids...

Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Jar Jar freaking Binks. That's all I remember from the first time I saw this crap fest of a film. He's a mix of the Olsen Twins and E.T. He ruined the whole movie. And it was obvious he was put in there to make coloring books for kids later. He's a draw for the 12 year olds. George, buddy, it's Star Wars. You don't need a draw. It's automatic. With the newest episode coming out in May, I have been thinking to myself, there is a disturbing pattern here. Could it get any worse than Jar Jar Binks? Unfortunatly I found out today, it can, and it will.

Episode 2: The Attack of the Clones. Just read this.

'Star Wars' Goes Pop: 'NSYNC Film Cameos For 'Episode II'

All they had to do was ask.

Now that they've taken over planet Earth, 'NSYNC are prepared to blow up in a galaxy far, far away.


A few of the 'NSYNC guys will appear in "Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones," according to a spokesperson from Lucasfilm.


The spokesperson didn't know specifically which members have cameos in the movie, which will be the fifth "Star Wars" release from creator George Lucas. The guys will be seen for a fleeting moment in a "big scene with lots of extras."


The roles materialized after the group members, who are all fans of the sci-fi saga, asked the new film's producer, Rick McCallum, for bit parts.


"Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Clones," which stars Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen, hits theaters May 16.
