The outcry of some of the weaker elements of Star Wars, Episode 1 (*cough* Jar Jar *cough*) had made some of us more hopeful that Episode 2 may be a little better.

Unfortunately, while the trailer left us utterly discouraged, the latest discovery in the decision making that is George Lucas, makes Jar Jar look like a shining icon of dignity.

According to The Sun, thanks to George Lucas' 13 year old daughter, Katie, NSync band members will make an appearance as Jedis -- Jedis who fortunately get snuffed rather quickly.

While some of us may find some minor joy in that fact, the constant reminder that Star Wars, Episode 2 will have one more reason to suck is disappointing. What will be next? Coke advertising? Star Wars, Episode 3: Jedi Alone staring MacAulay Culkin?

Let's pray Katie doesn't get a stiff beating at school for this stunt. I'm sure her teacher will give her a hard time. ("An F, teacher? But why?" "Episode 2, bitch! Now back in the corner!")
