I don't care what's "official canon." To me the quality of the material means more than the empty words of some suit that only cares about money.
Whether or not you like it doesn't make you any less wrong.

2 Sabers.
I'm sharing part of my answer with BeniboyBling's answer,
I don't agree with the defense part.
I'm Quoting a book I read called Mind Sword,
San-Shin: The Sword With Three Minds
Two swords(two ploys) that,when used in concert create a third unseen possibility.
A+B= a never before seen C
Three Minds
He could use it for parry and blocking,
He could use it for cutting and stabbing
He could use it for an unorthodox manner,as he did,by
throwing it like a spear,impaling his opponent,openning the way for his coupe de grace.
I also agree with Snydicate's answer.
If the situation calls for 2.
You have to be unpredictable with 2,do something never done before. unorthodox.
The truth of the matter is that a lot of the power of swordwork comes from your torso (or general body movement, but passing through the torso), and you only have one torso. Pure-arm movements are weaker and slower. Plus, mind-wide, you only have one focus. So, it's not quite as easy to do more unorthodox things because you have a second sword as you may think, what one sword is doing is somewhat linked to what the other sword is doing.
If you're putting a lot into one sword attack, then you can't put much into the other. Sword attacks that put power into both are limited mechanically to a few options- like slashing them both in the same direction, or scissoring them. A lot of the time, you'll be hitting with one while you're just moving the other for momentum or in a just-in-case position.

In reality, one sword is generally the way to go. But in Star Wars it magically seems to give you a one-up.

Yeah sure, I'm "wrong" because I have my own opinion. The will of the Mouse is supreme! That's sarcasm in case you can't tell.
I'd rather be "wrong" than be a brainless drone that obeys their corporate overlords without a thought.

Glad we agree on something.

Again, I really hate that.

It shouldn't be. They own the franchise, what they say goes. You're just behind the times.

No I just think for myself. I know that's hard for a drone to understand.

Which is about as valid of an argument as me making shit up and labeling it thusly. Having an opinion and being in denial are two very different things.

True,but is it the focus of a warrior or the focus of a pacifist?
Musashi proved two is better than one. My opinions come from two sources,
Mind Sword and The Book of Five Rings.
You have to think unorthodox and be unpredictable.
true one sword attacks or both while the other defends or both.
The power you spoke of can be gained from strength training.
The unseen C is up to you whether you throw your sword or mix some style of martial arts
in your sword work like Savate' for example.
I agree,but sometimes you have to think outside the box.
