It didn't come off to me like an evolution of the design at all, just the opposite, like something archaic. Lightsabers were called an "ancient" weapon by Obi-Wan so maybe it's a relic from medieval days of Star Wars?
The way the blade is all wild and has weird hilt makes it look a lot less refined.
