George Lucas and the production team apparently had a series of running battles with the studio cleaning service, which would continually clean and buff the floors on-set, even though Lucas had requested they leave them scuffed and dull, part of his idea that the world the characters inhabit should look "lived in." After the sets were constructed, George Lucas went through them and had every single one of them "dirtied up". The R2-D2s were all rolled in the dirt, nicked with a saw, and kicked around a bit. George Lucas popularized the concept of a "used future", giving sets, props, et cetera. a "dirtied up" appearance, to create the illusion that they were old and worn. However, he was not the first person to use this strategy. Gerry Anderson had extensively used this process in his Supermarionation series, most notably Thunderbirds (1965).
