Are the droids that the Jedi use willing participants or bought and sold?

I know R2 and 3PO work with them but what about the other droids in the EU? Is that ever talked about?

Sometimes. A few writers have tackled the "seriously though, what about droids" question, but honestly it rarely goes anywhere. Even L3's rebellion in Solo was treated as more of a novelty than an actual movement.

It's an odd thing to create reasoning intelligence and then to just basically instill in it a desire to serve. For most droids it would seem that to tell a droid to "do whatever you want, you're free" would mostly lead to them going back to whatever it was they were doing.

And anyone who abuses droids would likely abuse organic beings just as easily given the opportunity.
