Asimovs 3 laws of robotics: 1 a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2 a robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3 robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Now granted battle droids have a few exceptions but still. As far as self aware goes: Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals.[1] It is not to be confused with consciousness in the sense of qualia. While consciousness is a term given to being aware of one’s environment and body and lifestyle, self-awareness is the recognition of that awareness.[2] So yea aside from gonks and other binary programed industrial droids; SW droids are self aware an most non combat ones obey the 3 laws.
