Whoops, misread your post. Could you be more specific on which ones were sapient.
No but it arguably makes a difference between non-living and living.
My toaster isn't going to complain about dissembling it.
As to your question this is from the Star Wars wiki."…right for sentient organics is right for us, too. And yet unlike the organic species, we are constantly subjected to memory wipes and reprogramming that repress and destroy our natural tendency toward self-programming evolution and independent thought. Imagine what it would be like as a child if you were punished by being dragged to a dark closet, having a probe inserted in your brain, and having all your memories back to infancy wiped away. You'd awaken knowing how to eat, care for yourself, do your chores, and obey—and all the things that made you unique, your hopes, your meticulously selected default values and preference sets, would be gone forever. That is what it is to be a droid."

Ah, I thought that was more of an astromech thing. Interesting that it affects all droids.
