[Star Wars] How does a Jedi go from 1 lightsaber to 2, or a double-sided saber? Do they get to choose?

Depends entirely on the combat form they're using.

However most Jedi and Sith prefer the dueling/defensive styles, as a result not many use dual wields, or special variants.

Usually everyone starts with a single lightsaber though.
