Both feats are an absolute must for me.
If you're playing with a close-combat fighter, you'll have more feats than you need and since you're fighting with lightsabers anyway, there is no real reason to exclude them.
If you're using force-powers, your skill with the lightsaber won't really matter at all, so you could skip those feats. But there is of course always the roleplaying aspect and I feel like it's kinda illogical that you fight without getting better with your choice of weapons, or that you don't train to get better with them, however you'd like to put it.
But, combat is easy enough anyway in KotOR and you can do whatever you want.
