GCW and You...
Image Designers: Disguise you as a member of the opposite faction. For a time period, you can appear as a member of the opposite faction. There is a chance of it breaking, and breaks upon combat. For all appearances, you con purple to the enemy.
Dancers and Musicians: More entertainer quests, featuring the cream of the crop, Jabba. Fail this one and face the rancor pit. Success can lead to great new abilities like Summon Groupies. A small group of NPCs comes to your aid for protection, or for cheering on a performance.
Entertainers in battle: Lets face it, everyone is out having fun in a group except YOU. Now, get in the action. In old days, bagpipers would play in a fight to give their side morale and strike fear into the enemy. Even in today's world, College football teams have a band. Music or dancing in battle should give something, like a combat haste or greater state defense. Yes, I know about bards, but we needa role in combat, because that's where everyone is having fun.
Fame Points: Much like Jedi Visibility, except we WANT it. Fame could get you better deals on the things you buy, or perhaps even a payout for playing for a time in a main city cantina.
Rival Entertainer Gangs: West Side Story, need I say more?

I love this whole post.
Especially the rival entertainer gang thing. Of course everyone must be dancing theatrical.

I LOVE /summongroupies. 
I hate giving us abilities in combat. I think we should get bumped up in CL for our skills, but any "group buffing" stuff needs to go to Squad Leader. They have so few perks as a combat-only class, and it would be wrong for us to get their love as a placebo for real, innovative Entertainer abilities.
The devs seem to be against giving multiple skill trees the same special bonuses, so I'm not sure if they would consider duplicating the the FS skill for Persuasion with an ID ability. That said, I desperately want ID's to be able to change last names, give us "theater permits" to let us equip certified weapons and armor in non-combat settings, and adjust hips!
