Oliver Steeples is a member of the R2 Builders Club, a fan organization dedicated to creating fully-functioning, film-accurate droid models from the Star Wars franchise. At Celebration Europe II in summer 2013, Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy hired Steeples and fellow droid builder Lee Towersey to work on Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. As part of the film's creature effects team, they were focused solely on building astromech droids at Pinewood Studios.
