You might be able to pretend that but it's pretty obvious without reading any books or online material that they aren't intended to be piloted by droids.
They are droids.
At one point they were meant to be general fighter craft with robot pilots inside, then a designer (I'm not sure which one at the moment) came to the conclusion that the ship might as well be a droid itself.
They walk around, their heads bop up and down in response to stimulus and they 'talk' to each other.
