Before the prequels
he was the only dude with a red lightsaber.
In Return of the Jedi the Emperor specifically refers to the lights bare as a Jedi weapon
[i]if I am remembering that correctly[/i]
yea its implied in the original films that the Sith are evil mages (like Sauron or Saruman)
the reason Vader has a lightsaber is because he used to be a Jedi
(and is more adept with a sword than space magic I suppose)
this whole idea was -blam!-ed up, of course, by the prequels and, to some extent, the expanded universe
Ironically, the simplicity made Vader stand out as a former Jedi more than anything. Sith as a whole tend to gravitate towards flashier designs.
Maul- Saberstaff
Dooku- Curved-hilt saber
Sidious- Electrum-plated saber
Darth Souls- Cruciform saber.
Etc.
