At first, I started out trying to make RvB glows. I think I got pretty close with my original method. Now I'm try to update a new method just for lightsaber glows in genral.

I think the glow is dropping off a bit too harshly, or is a little too saturated around the core, i'm not sure (imo)
I still kinda like how i got:
But it doesn't always work well following that way to the word on all footage. All just personal preference i guess. My method has been tweaked since that pic, but like i said, i got wiped

(heh, the amount of time we've spent tweaking these methods)

I like the ILM glows from episode 3. I dont understand what people see in the ESB glows... IMO they looked Waaaayy too big... and then there's the "chainsaw" blade shape that they had going on... so (dude with the ILM glows) Hehe. and I concur that since George Lucas invented Lightsabers, who are we to judge that ours are better... I mean come on. I for one liked the pointy tips in Ep.3!

It's good but the core needs to be blurred a bit and the glows need to be stronger and spread out more.
There is no tutorial for creating sabers in Final Cut pro but I found a plugin for it:
CLick.
It renders 4 points for u to choose and then bam.

Keylight is a wonderful plugin for after effects. Its very good for greenscreening.
