Anti-light? That's bull! Perhaps you misunderstand what anti-matter is to form such a... thingy... Seriously, how would that even work? You can't EMIT black, by ANY method at all. Well, maybe if you count emitting black spray paint to be that...
Wait... WAIT! That's IT! It would throw out all manner of light absorbing stuff (stuff that sounds more scientific than spray paint would) and "corrupt" everything with this covering that needed to be washed off. And um, it could also cover the air in it, so that's why the saber would actually look black, and it would leave trails because of it, that kind of diluted away into surrounding air. Yeah, that would be cool!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
