And dude, double-bladed is not for a strong defense. Think about it. It's so hard to defend with it. I'm Talking as someone who actually is a sword master and staff master who might be working on the nxt star wars films a dual bladed lightsaber actually is really the hardest to defend with because blocking an attack might result in the other end slicing you and/or u not being able to come around for a counter-attack.
Jedi and Sith who master double-bladed lightsaber combat were a rarity. This type of lightsaber combat evolved around a double-bladed lightsaber - sometimes also referred to as a sith lightsaber or saber-staff.
A saber-staff would typically consist of a long hilt which had energy blades at both ends. The blades could be ignited one at a time, the saber-staff thus functioning as a normal lightsaber, or simultaneously. One of the primary functions of a double bladed lightsaber was to create fear in the opponent, as a double bladed lightsaber, with its two deadly blades, looked more menacing than an ordinary one.
Double-bladed lightsaber combat was more like fighting with a staff than with a sword. The weapon having two blades, double-bladed lightsaber combat allowed for much more rapid attack which were more difficult to parry for someone using an ordinary lightsaber. Also it allowed for "more kills per swing", since one would be able to strike opponents in front of and behind oneself simultaneously.
This type of lightsaber combat was extremely rare. Firstly, because it was very difficult to master and using a double-bladed lightsaber could be more dangerous to the untrained wielder than to his opponent. Secondly, this type of lightsaber combat was of an aggressive nature and thus deemed too close to the dark side by many Jedi.
Several of the standard forms of lightsaber combat had double-bladed variants. Darth Maul used a double-bladed variant of Form VII, and Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell used a double-bladed variant of Ataru. Jaden Korr may have used double-bladed versions of the fast, medium, and strong styles.
If u want to learn more about sword/lightsaber forms go to the wookiepedia or PM me (the wookiepedia is actually a very correct source of form info (for style, the SW history doesn't apply).

Its not easy to defend with a staff where the middle isnt capable of stopping attacks. Double bladed sabers are the worst for defense of all the sabers, Maul almost got killed because of that reason. Had Obi-Wan been 2-4 inches closer to Maul when he cut Maul's saber in half it would chopped Mauls face in two.Double-Bladed = Not so good defense. More easily controlled and quick offense.
Two Lightsabers = Really good defense, Even better offense, but the most difficult to control. Kinda a double edged sword.
Single bladed saber = Good offence, Good defense. Easiest to control and allows for the most maneuverability as well as the most finesse and precision.
very smart and quite correct for futher info look at my above post
single, most control, more power in saberlocks because it can be held with two hands and can be used with more finess. duel and two sabers might be good for trying to overwhelm someone with uncontrolled speed, but when it gets down to strength, or skill a single blade would be best. also the fact that pretty much all the best jedi and sith have all used a single would indicate its the superior choice.
