[Star Wars] Are droids conscious and enslaved?

Pretty much, yeah. Can't even make the argument "but you can't reprogram a person like you can a droid, thus they aren't actually sapient" when the Jedi Mind Trick is a known phenomenon in this universe. Have little doubt it depends on the sophistication of the AI - can't imagine what cruel bastard would make a roomba capable of feeling emotions and contemplating its own existence - but advanced models are just straight-up robotic people denied personhood. Some droids are even conscious of this, like Lando's companion in Solo.
