The FFG books are also built around the legends canon and give good advice on playing a droid PC. First you must decide: Am I a sentient droid or a non-sentient droid.
>A non-sentient droid will follow its programming, they still have personalities but aren't allowed to deviate from what they're told. You're basically playing an asimov robot with a preprogrammed set of beliefs and traits.
>A sentient droid is by all intents a person. However they are widely illegal, it is by law that droids must be regularly wiped so they don't become sentient. IG-88 is an example of a sentient droid that hated organics.
Obligation is the main way you flesh out your character in Edge of the Empire. It's a mechanic where every session the GM randomly rolls a die to see whose obligation has to come into play this session. Usually it is an element of your backstory: a cartel you betrayed, an addiction you have, an oath you have taken. Obligations can be completed and gained mid campaign, but its important to think about what your droid is dealing with that will define them as a unique character.
In my campaign I have two sentient droid PCs. One that is a battle droid who has slowly gone schizo, the other is an escaped drug formulation bot for the Pykes who has taken on the mission of liberating droid kind. Two very different characters despite both being droids working for freedom from their past owners due to the nature of their obligations.
Perhaps a sith training bot has an addiction to high stake fights, or your programming is somewhat twisted by sith corruption. Just think on if you're sentient, and what your obligation may be.
