Use the force with your own Lightsaber!

Create a new image with a Saberhilt ready to be turned on; (May I advice MasterReplicas.com)

With the "Retangular Marquee-tool" make an object like the one below;

Turn it THAT way, it looks the same as below = Right ON TOP of the hilt;

Make the edges smoother and more round;

Duplicate the layer so that you have 2 saber-layers;

Give the original saber-layer a Gaussian Blur of 2-3 pixels;

And give the upper saber-layer a Gaussian Blur of 1-2 pixels;

Add these Outer Glows to BOTH saber-layers;

And there you have the weapon of a Jedi-Knight;
