Lightsabers in every era doesn't destroy the uniqueness of Vader or Palpatine. All Sith having red sabers does destroy their uniqueness (and yes, the prequels are just as guilty of this as KOTOR and SWTOR).

Vader was a Sith and if it was later established that it is a Sith tradition to have red lightsabres... it's doesn't diminish Vader's character uniqueness in anyway. It is just a damn weapon and red is a very popular colour. You don't expect him to be the only one having it in order to achieve your bizarre uniqueness in that respect?

Let me try to put it differently. Making Rakata use lightsabres 25,000 years before OT is stupid. It makes it look like lightsabre is eternal. If I take Obi-Wan's quote "An elegant weapon, for a more civilised age" I can assume it is quite new compared to a blaster.
