Worth two in the bush

The phrase "Worth two in the bush" has the opposite meaning of the original proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

To better understand this, you must understand the original saying; "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". The first part of the phrase; "A bird in the hand" means that it is better to have something that is small but guaranteed, instead of something that is risky with uncertain rewards - "Worth two in the bush".

By something being "Worth two in the bush" you are willing to risk what is already in front of you, with hopes of achieving something much better.

"Worth two in the bush" can be used to describe something that is highly desirable, extremely valuable, and so rare that it's almost mythical.
If someone were to create a functional Star Wars lightsaber, that would be "worth two in the bush". I'd much rather have one lightsaber instead of a thousand medieval swords; it's so much better.
