You basically just said:"Only the droids that get significant screen time seem to have free will".The same thing applies to the human characters - only the ones with significant screen time can we see the decision-making the shows free will! I don't agree it's dubious with C3PO at all. He talks about his "programming" in the same way someone talks about their strong religious beliefs or specific upbringing and values or whatever - if anything he's just recognising that he didn't have an upbringing, but rather was given a pre-set load of values - but values it seems like he can now deviate from just as a human can deviate from values instilled in them. If sentient/sapient droids were controlled by programming any more than humans are trained by upbringing, conditioning, and so on, they wouldn't even need restraining bolts and so on, they could just reprogram them.</blockquote>
