I called my barker droid out in Theed, as I was passing through. I caught a shuttle to Coronett, swooped outside the city some 1100meters and back. Returned to Naboo via Kadarraa. Shuttled to Theed Shuttle 'C', then swooped to my shop 1200meters outside Theed. Called my crafting droid out. Had it with me for about an hour. Swooped back to Theed Starport, where I saw my barker and was kinda happy/puzzled. Went to Dathomir and back. The Droid was still barking, loud as can be! So I decided to pull out my second droid right next to it. 2 Seconds later, I'm looking at two of my droids side-by-side!!! I give out a common command to both, and they both respond. I finally just stored my second droid and left the barker there till I logged about 10 mins. later.....

Basically what you're running into is a server boundary issue. If you cross a server boundary, or leave a planet (especially if you leave a planet) the game will "forget" that you've already called a pet if that pet doesn't cross the as well. They seem to have a some issues with passing info on pets back and forth between servers, which is why sometimes your pets will just stop in the middle of nowhere for no reason (it's standing on a server boundary and has "lost" you). It's been a known issue to dev since forever, but as it's not really one that I see them fixing any time soon. Doing it is sort of a game system exploit however, so I wouldn't get any grand ideas about using this to have your own little droid army following you around :-)
