Remember that the light sabers in Star Wars were actually done all in postprocessing. The actors actually played with wooden sticks that were then replaced in post by digital artists. That explains the way they glow in the movie.

You can keep the color of the light if you use the "Preserver light hue" option in the Output tab of Reality.
