A new profession? I have one thing to say about that.
How dare they!
Introducing a new profession and thay haven't even finished this one. Many of our flourishes have never been finished and they have the unmitigated gall to even be thinking of introducing a new profession. The DEVs had better get their act together and learn that the most desired new content in this game is for the exisiting content to be finished and working as promised.
That vaguely rings a bell. I'm not sure if it is new or not but it would be interesting to see how they fit in with the rest of the entertainer professions if it's really a new addition.
Can they buff, if so, which stats?
Will they be equal to Dancers and Musicians in terms of mindwound and BF healing? The combat abilities suggest they will be lacking on the healing side IMO.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase a "hot act". 
As for this prof. . .hmmm. . .it will be wait and see i think.
A bit of searching for info reveals....
"They are upgrading the game with a lot of new features for various professions - swordsman/Jedi, dancers, acrobats, etc... They had dancers and jugglers in the motion capture studio from around the country."
This profession has been around for ages, and its not the first time mention of it has shown up in publish code. Once or twice in the past it has shown up in TC code only to be taken out again. It is *very much* a work in progress by the devs but their statements in the past have been that while the do pln on implementing it some day, they aren't until the finish filling out the content for all existing professions.
Based on the information that has been seen in the past, this is likely an Entertainer and Marksman or Brawler hybrid profession. But this, along with dual weilding professions, and several others is not on any schedule to be released at least prior to the Space Expansion. While this will be added in eventually, its not going to be any time soon. In all likelyhood, they just accidentally let this code slip out again with the jedi stuff 
I hope they do release it with Publish 9, but hearing that they have let it "slip" before doesn't support it 
In any case, it certainly looks like a profession CrazEE would be perfect for 
Imagine... a tall fat Ewok throwing a boomerang around the cantina... (floats away on a white puffy cloud)
You know, if they give Acrobats our healing & buffing abilities all the bots will go there and we can have our profession back!
(scuse me while I peel my tongue out of my cheek)
From the skill box names, it doesn't look like Acrobats will buff at all... more like a hybrid brawler/entertainer trained for entertainment during battle.
I don't think automated people can do that too effectively

Sure! Just put that bot on /follow. Don't you know I would love to see that?! Ok..I have it out of my system. I'll quit whining and be a good girl now.
I see it now... my tall, fat Ewok /following some faction farmers atour city'sbase while juggling flaming objects and throwing plasma spheres.
Can you say, "Kodak moment"?

I can see where your coming from Ravanne but i personally feel that anything that makes the cantinas a more diverse and enjoyable place to frequent can't be all bad. I reall hope they add it.....and give us about 50 more skill points
