It's stupid to want 1 to 1 saber fights in a game. You would have to be an expert to not be killed quickly.
I'm training with boken in my Aikido sessions, and with my low practice level, I could have killed anyone of the Jedi Knights in less than 5 seconds, to have an idea of how bad they are at fighting in the movies (and I mean in all 6 of them). The movies are modeled for a show, they show supposedly good fighters that, for example, take a stance for piercing, but actually swing, which is beyond stupid and suicidal (they would have lost their legs and hands then died quick if they were against me). So it impress people that don't know anything about using a sword, but that's about it.
A 1:1 saber combat won't even last 2 seconds most of the time in real life. Look at some chambara movies to know how quick someone proficient with a saber can kill you: it's a matter of tenth of seconds.
So really, in a game that is supposed to be fun, 1:1 saber combat, or any weapon of the same type, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I've heard people ask for this since the Wii's launch, and always thought it was stupid, and the people asking for it actually don't know what they are asking for.
It would not be fun at all. There's a reason the games don't use that.
The same is true for tennis or anything actually. You don't have to master a sport to be good in a game, the goal is not to reproduce real life.
