Plenty of solid Two Weapon options here. I'd kind of like to hear from the OP if there's a direction they like.
We've got the following.
Swift Ambusher or Swift Hunter (Scout blended with Rogue or Ranger to get better use out of Skirmish and or Sneak Attack)
Revenant Blade (Various lead ins to make a Str primary Two Weapon build that power attacks and pounces in crazy multi weapon charges)
Shadow Blade (Dex Primary build that gets bonus damage from various boosts and maneuvers)
Are any of these concepts appealing?

An odd, but potentially interesting question: Is the Revenant Blade's capstone ability at all compatible with the Swashbuckler's Insightful Strike? Specifically, can the off-hand side of a double scimitar be considered both a two-handed weapon and a light weapon at the same time?

I don't know that it would work in that example, because both Insightful Strike and Legendary Force are class features, not feats. Aptitude Weapon specifically states "feats that affect the use of a particular type of weapon, such as...[list of feats]".
So here's another potentially useful question: Would Shadow Blade be considered to "affect the use of a particular type of weapon"? If so, then you could get Str+Dex+2h PA on a double scimitar.

Is that used via the weapon aptitude to count the scimitar as a dagger to add the dex on?

Pretty much. Shadow Blade only works under certain conditions, one of which is wielding a "favored weapon" (I forgot the actual term) of the Shadow Hand school. If that counts as a feat that "affects a particular type of weapon", then slapping it on a doubles scimitar would allow you to use the Shadow Blade benefits, provided all other conditions were met.

Flavour and power wise that is a good start and will open up the potential for every single idea presented here, I believe all of them have handbooks and plenty of posts regarding them all individually (again can't link from my phone sorry) also I'm sure if you gave us the idea we can show you the cookie cutter outline

That's a bad idea unless you're planning to specialize in ranged attacks. And even then it's still probably a bad idea. All those extra 4 levels are going to give you is a weak animal companion, a feat you don't need, and minimal spellcasting. Granted, you'll also get +4 BAB, but there are ways to do this that give you better options. good example would be a level in babrbarian (grants Pounce and the ability to rage), 2 levels of Warblade (maneuvers are always good), and a level of Revenant Blade.
