To be sure, it would be surprising if we even registered on their radar. But you have to admit, it is an odd coincidence. On the other hand:
- 6-sided PCB mounts are commonly called "stars"
- Presumably plenty of geeks work in the field of LEDs and related tech
- A geek presented with the word "star" would naturally think "star wars" and/or "star trek"
- A geek might, for a lark, propose the words "rebel" and "Endor" as product names, with non-geek top management being none the wiser
Then again, being geeks, it seems plausible that one or more of them were aware that their LEDs were being used to make lightsabers.
