Rodians as a playable race.
Since it's supposed to be a change, take out the blindfold guys. They're just humans with "special effect: piece of cloth over the eyes".
Oh wait, I guess that applies to most of the so-called alien races:
Chiss: Humans with Blue Skin and Red Eyes.
Cyborg: Humans with metal stuff on their faces.
Ratakki: Humans with white skin and no hair.
could go on, but basically the closest race to actual non-human aliens are the Twileks...
Anyhow, I know all about the arguments against Rodians:
Rodians can speak basic: See The Clone Wars animated series.
Rodians could "Romance". if you don't want to see it, don't romance! or don't play a Rodian!
