Do it in post. Another way is to create a duplicate of the object you want to glow and make it very rounded, and then apply luminosity and an incidence angle based falloff transparency to make the edges 100% transparent and not luminous at all. But the best method is to do it in post. Just render out all the stuff you want glowing in a separate pass, apply a gaussian blur and blend it in with the rest of the render. Piece of cake, should only take a couple of minutes.

Look in the help files for 2sided material. Combining it with vray lights is very effective. As for
the light saber, I agree with Captain Obvious, doing it in post would be the easiest way.

If it wasn't so much work, I'd do EVERYTHING in post! :p
