About this mod
Adds double-bladed lightsabers, with animations, for FTweaks as alternatives to the existing battlestaves.

Adapts the double-bladed lightsabers from @Opsguy27's awesome mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3749.
Further, it includes the epic animations from @ClomeG's mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58762.
So what does this mod do that those two don't on their own? Most importantly, it fixes the placement of the weapon/hands. By default (without this mod), you'll be holding the "front" blade, rather than the weapon's hilt.
Also, this mod adds a copy of the 'Darth Maul' lightsaber for each variant of the battlestaff, as available in FTweaks, including the same attributes, values, and crafting/grind-stone recipes.
The sabers are entirely distinct weapons, and are not added to level lists or anything, so they won't show up anywhere without you crafting them.
Recommendations:
Don't use the SkyrimSA animations, and just keep the DAR replacement-animations on the vanilla system. SkyrimSA animations look amazing, but they prevent you from controlling your location-movement. So you can't chase an enemy while attacking, nor keep your distance from them. Not managing your placement/"footwork" is a great way to die in Requiem/3Tweaks.
The DAR animations still look good without SkyrimSA (still has logical animations for a double-bladed weapon, rather than just swinging away like a warhammer), and you keep your movmement.
Future Work (maybe):
* Additional hilts (so steel is visually different than glass, for example)
* Additional blade colors
