Someone should make a list of PT elements that Lucas borrowed from the EU. The multi-coloured lightsabers already seems to have been in the EU first, and so does several aliens (Dexter from ATOC is apparently based of an alien from SW Droids) so it seems like it would be quite a long list.
The double-bladed lightsaber and Aayla Secura would definitely have to go on the list.
The name "Coruscant" rather famously
Pretty sure that was in an early Star Wars draft.
The planet, yes, but not the actual name. That was made by Timothy Zahn (author of the Thrawn trilogy).
