After a memory scrub wouldn't Threepio be a totally new personality anyway?
That's why I hate Artoo's laugh at the end of ROTS.
Threepio is more of a slave than cushy little Anakin ever was.
The good guys give him a lobotomy.
Clearly, in the world of Star Wars, a memory wipe doesn't give a droid a new personality. Given that droids are completely made up, I see no problem with this. It's not a lobotomy if its effects aren't like those of a lobotomy.
