If there are plans to look at the way this part is set up in LDraw, would it perhaps also make sense to make the name of the part more accurate?

"Lightsaber" is the official spelling, and it is technically considered a weapon, and not so much a tool.

As some other official LDraw parts do not necessarily prefix the term "Tool" or "Weapon" to their names (for example, it is not "Minifig Weapon Cannon") then perhaps the following naming convention would be more suitable:

Minifig Lightsaber Chrome Silver with 1 Blade
Minifig Lightsaber Chrome Silver with 2 Blades

This would also free up the amount of characters to be both more descriptive and include the current colour usage that Lego use for all new sets that contain lightsabers for minifigs with a new Metallic Silver shortcut:

Minifig Lightsaber Metallic Silver with 1 Blade
Minifig Lightsaber Metallic Silver with 2 Blades

and maybe even:

Minifig Lightsaber Bent Chrome Silver with 1 Blade
