ok my few thoughts are.
1. a holo ability kinda like the holoemotes but done with the droid. basically a droid module that would play certain holo's. the holo's could be like small video's that loop or something. maybe make them quest item's for dancers. each one different and cool. make some of the longer cooler ones rarer than the shorter ones. I dunno maybe a quest from the choreographer. Maybe someone left those behind like the dance/music schematics.
2. ability to change some of our existing and new (if possible) light show stuff. maybe change the colors.
3. use it like a doctor uses a droid to buff outside the hospital. a buffer for us OUTSIDE the cantina....heal BF there. I doubt I will see it but still a nice idea.
4. new droid just for dancers. make it so only dancer type stuff will go into it. don't make it like some of the ones we have for fighting. make it so it can hold more modules of the dancer or musician related stuff. not all but just more than 3 or 4 modules. that way we can have 1 droid with maybe 5 holo-modules (if they make them) and some of the older effect stuff like confetti or avian (my personal favorites). naturally the droid would be useless in combat and HAM would be pointless seeing as we wouldn't use it in combat. I'm sure someone will want to dance overt with this thing but they do so at thier own risk. 
5. make #4 something that is good looking for us. we are good looking and don't want a bulky binary loader dancing with us.....or do we....anyways make it nice....maybe a cyborg? hey there ya go. Make it like Lobot (Lando's guard from Episode VI). anyways make it something nice. if you can make it a synthetic humanoid or creature like that cool beans.
6. maybe have the droid interact with whoever is watching them. now to reduce spam if someone walks in and starts watching dancer #1 and dancer #1 is in a group with 5 other people and they all have droids only the dancer that the person is watching, dancer #1, only that droid would interact. something like "Oh, thank you for watching my master perform". or something like that. sure we can still talk to them but the droid can talk to them. like C-3PO. you couldn't shut him up sometimes. maybe if we have them out they will have a timer on screen letting someone know when a buff was done. I know I have done a few buffs and told them time was up but they hadn't started watching when I thought they had and they got a bad buff....sure it was free and all after I apologized but it was still a short bad buff. 
7. more effects. sure the jawas are cool but we need a few new ones. even if it is only 1 or 2.
8. I would say a singing droid but I think I would be shot.
sorry for not actually capitalizing any of the letters but I'm kinda in a hurry lol. hope 1 of these makes it in or if anyone likes it let me know. I can think of more if need be.

Being able to redeed droids like you can spaceships would be a great help. So would the ability to use a droid to help heal BF and buff in camps out in the wild.
One thing I haven't seen anyone post yet is that I'd like a AFKBB-HAD (an away from keyboard buff bot - heavy assault droid). This droid has no practical use in the field for hunting or combat, and is only programmed to hunt in your cantina. Once someone begins "Hi. Buffing begins in 30 seconds, send me an invite...." with AFK status, the AFKBB-HAD swings into gear. It fires up its assault lasers (modified from space ships, capable of 20k of damage in one shot!) and the AFK BB is cinders. All there is left is a scorched mark where they stood. The cantina then goes back to their normal routine. It should be a really large bot, bipedal, with a huge chassis and laser canons for arms. If it could say something like "We've warned you about this before" in a robot voice before incinerating them, that would be awesome.
Yeah, I know this is all wishful thinking, but man, that would bring in so many customers just to watch people get smoked! 
P.S. When not killing of AFKers, it should be able to do the robot dance in the meantime.
