The technology just looks like the next step of current "lightsaber" technology. It's still a physical object coming out that "contains" the light essentially. Sure, it's the least amount of physical apparatus coming out of one of these so far, but it's not just a blade of pure light (it would actually be impossible to do that with current known technology because the blade would have no real stopping point, which is why an actual working lightsaber would probably be made out of something closer to plasma).
