Am I the only one that sees the "Darth with the red lightsaber" thing as an integral part of Star Wars? I grew up with the Knights of the Old Republic games as an essential part of my headcanon so I can't really dismiss that.

Yes and no. While I didn't grow up believing every darksider had to go around with "Darth" in their name, I did consider red lightsabers the weapon of darksiders.

Of course, that notion was formed a long time ago when I was a little kid, when I still viewed the world through very simplistic, black-and-white, western-world glasses; I outgrew the former when I outgrew the latter.
