Here's an interview with the pair;
It all started when Kathleen Kennedy toured the R2-D2 Builders area at Celebration Europe this past summer in Germany, says Steeples. She posed for pictures with us, looked at all the droids we'd built and was very complimentary. I mentioned that the R2-D2 Builders in the UK were available if required, as a semi-joke. When I was contacted to work on the film by [executive producer] Jason McGatlin, it was on her recommendation.
We know the pressures of filming, prepping, and being able to assure reliability throughout the shoot, says Towersey. We have a good knowledge of Artoo, with a large stock of parts for reference and drawings, plus we know what is involved throughout the whole building process, as well as potential problems we need to avoid.
