Im so stupid!!! WHOOPS, I had so much stuff goin on i forgot the pic…
What an idiot i am. 
Is the handle one piece created with masking and/or symmetry on a cylinder, or did you do the image in 2.5D out of primitives?
Pretty cool man I just watched empire strikes back last night.I figure when I get good enough at z brush I am going to make a comlete starwars scene.
Thanks for sharing.
I started with a cylinder and modeled it into the handle. I wish i could get the green saber part to glow more…
LWTB, there IS a glow material, if you care to find it, and it has some material modifiers (two sets of them). the first set defines glow amount and glow radius, if I remember that right.
so, just make your saber beam out of that material.
by the way, the glow material has to be rendered for its glow to show.

i used the glow material but couldnt get the radius it glowed to be larger. The blade is the glow material with gel modifiers and stuff.
There’s a trick with fog that you can do to create a glow.
Learn about it here. (And be prepared to have your breath taken away by a really awesome pic!)
