May the Metrocard be With You

Never let it be said George Lucas misses an opportunity for promotion: in honor of the upcoming Star Wars Blu-Ray release in Japan, Tokyo subways are getting lightsaber handles. They appear to be some sort of 21st century sticker. Were this installed on a lawless gaijin train here in the West, I'd estimate their half-life to be about 20 minutes but since they're in Tokyo, I'll wager they stay attached until the guy who installed them pulls them off.

Looks like it could be problematic. How many riders will lose fingers by grabbing the business end of the saber?
