That my friend, is a video card problem. I have never seen the green lazer show you speak of, and have spent more time looking at the sky in Swtor then one might think.

Theyre literally everywhere, at every hub on every planet. Occasionally outside of hubs too, like on alderaan, where theyre pretty much everywhere on one segment of the map.

I havent been past Tattooine yet, but i only see them on Tython and Tattoine and i think Ord Mantel. I haven't run across them on the other planets. They seem to be linked to these large cylindrical energy converters made of glass, which have green energy arcing within them. the green laser shoots out at the top and across the screen to infinity. Depending on your vantage point it will look like a thin beam, or it hit directly in the eyes and cover the entire field of view so you can barely see.

this is the cylinder object they seem to come from:

Those cylinders seem to only be on certain planets.

Tis a Shame, that such a huge annoyance comes from such a minor object in the game. If it wasnt for the laser show, i would never have noticed the green lamps in the first place

It's a marketing ploy!

The green light show is to make people notice these cylinders and get attached to them. Soon they will announce that they will release some custom made table lamps based on these cylinders ingame. With a added button that causes the green light to go crazy and flash franticly!

Brings SWTOR's bugs to real life like nothing you have ever seen!

It wouldn't be so bad if it were isolated to that one area, but it's not.
I experience it whenever I see one of those light towers with the green laser lights on the top. I have seen it mostly on Tatooine, but have experienced it in other places also. I spoke to other members of my guild and most of them have experienced it too and thought it was just them.

The common denominator is the light tower things. I don't know what they are called but the light emanates from the top of them and at certain angles fill the whole screen making it almost impossible to see at times.

Yep, and those are everwhere. That one is on Belsavis I think. I've seen them on every single planet and pretty much every single location, even where there's just npc's. It's really annoying. Every time that thing flashes the green laser beam, you run the risk of these great swaths of the screen that become green. What exactly are those supposed to be for?

There my friend you are mistaking. A LOT of people are getting this. Just check support forum.
Even I get it on my 6950. And only in this game. And not everywhere. But the the green lazers is on the same place every time I go there.
They are not everywhere. Try explore a lit bit.
