The red-hot edge of the blade distinctly resembles the similar edge to the bladed weapons brandished by the Elite Praetorian Guards in Snoke's (Andy Serkis) throne room in The Last Jedi.

It's not a leap to suggest these weapons are probably forged through the same means and can pack a similarly devastating punch, especially considering how close together TLJ and Solo have been released. It's no happy accident.
