Droid rights

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

The droid rights was an attempt to liberate droids from their forced servitude and give them legal protection under the Rights of Sentience clause of the Galactic Constitution. It opposed ownership of droids and anybody advocating anti-droid propaganda, instead advocating that their sentience programming and personality matrices gave them said protection and decried restraining bolts as contributing to the oppression.

Problems arose as, at times, droids started their own uprisings against their organic masters, such as the infamous Great Droid Revolution started by HK-01 and his droid army. Such incidents only hindered the movement and sentients who believed in it continued the struggle.
