Just read in a tread a link to some pictures of the new droid modules. Doesn't look like all the entertainer ones but it gives a good idea on what they're like from the names.
A 3/3/4/4 DE can make these effects modules...
Avian,
Confetti,
Electric Fog,
Foam,
Mind Bloom.
Think I read before that there was 10 altogether so there's the first half. I'm sure someone will post the rest of the names and what the effects actually look like soon enough.
Certainly an interesting list and really makes you wonder what the other 5 modules effects will be.

According to the droid corre, there are six total Ent droid modules. Dancing Jawa is the "top."
So that may be it with those you have listed... I haven't had a chance to test them yet, but I'm really excited! They sound great. 
I'm thinking it will be popular to have an Ent droid module or twowith a combo of Music, Stim, Barker, or the area repair module to heal the other ents' droids. I'm just guessing though... maybe Tiaga or one of the other TC dancers will get to test them before me and come give us details.
Bring on the dance party droids!

The modules are great....a few well placed mouse droids with a couple of effects on them, and synchronised programming should create some nice effects. The playback modules can record instruments and songs, and accepts bandflourishes. The options for dancers and musicians for creating a nice performance is greater when the center of the effect does not have to be the performer him/herself.

Ill have to disagree with entertainer droids. Come on! The stuff they have given them should have been given to the dancers. And ya definately dont need any more spam in a game city cantina. (well, theed or coronet)Until the profession grinding is gone. A droid running around doing effects, 10 droids running around doing effects.. Frame rates will fall horribly.

I see the potential for misuse... I'm also right this second working on a post for the correspondent forum about a balance for a dancer droid. The music droid took me a little off guard since it may be music only but the ent modules are for both. These are new and still in the tweaking phase, let's work through this first before we start seeing all of the bad.
These droids also have a ton of potential to really enhance our ability to perform... the stim bot alone might be a huge boon for large ent performing groups and it wasn't even meant for us. We'll work on these issues during test and after they go live I'm sure. When more of us have a chance to work with them, we'll really be able to see how well they are going to do for us.
I'm still really excited though! I haven't even gotten to play with one yet. *pouts*

The effects don't give any bonus to exp gain, and the batteries only last an hour. I suspect there will be afk'ers using them, but they'll have to check back every hour to recharge them, so you'll eliminate the ones that just turn their computers on and walk away for 12 hours at a time.
