It depends if your English or American.
We English have sabres that come in lots of different colours and the Americans have sabers that come in lots of different colors

Yeah well if any of those dodgy American force users come to Britain something will magically rejig itself in their lightsabers and suddenly they will have lightsabres!!!!!!
Though I guess theoretically since SW is an American creation, "lightsaber" is correct... However, all it really means is "a saber made of light". (not that it really is made of light, but it looks that way) So I think both are correct

It was actually originally spelt lightsabRE in the original novel.
It is also notable that in origin, 'sabre' and 'saber' were actually different types of swords, not simple spelling differences, though by today that is the main distinction.
