Star Wars Jedi R2D2 Decapitated After Effects

Try out my first light Saber using Video Copilots V2.1. I found it ok but very limited as both ends of the effect are rounded, not always what you want and most of the settings are locked.
I would like to thank whoever made the R2-d2 model it does not come on two pieces I had to put it into 3DS Max to do that. I would like to mention the site I got it from, but I cannot remember as I downloaded so many (free Ones!)
