Yep, it does.

One thing i did notice though is that it is very visible where you turn off the clean plate, it really jumps out at you, also for the first few frames there is a distinct wobble on the background. i had this problem when i first attempted mine. Instead of using a complete plate you could just use the plate to mask out only the section where the saber is, that way it becomes invisible. If you are using after effects then all you have to do is create an animated mask and mask the motion of the saber blade, then the glow hides it.
