I think it's highly unlikely that this new element won't show up in other
places completely unrelated to SW and light sabres, and it probably will
even show up in opaque colors.
IMHO, calling this element a light sabre blade is like calling the white 3x3
disc element an umbrella table. (Not that 6543 Sail N' Fly Marina was the
first place that this element showed up, but it's probably the most "famous"
place.)
I agree with Steve.
