There was still an incredible output of original films even as the end of George Lucas’ mammoth Star Wars trilogy ended.

We often hear about actors undergoing major physical transformations for roles, often drastically changing their appearance over a short period of time so that they can fit their role better, or using Method acting techniques where they fully immerse themselves into their role and don’t break character through production.
