Bodyhammer..I know this is a pain but what I was asking for was if you could list specifically the badges on your character sheet that you DONT have. That might help us clue in on the prob.
Here is the last thing I can think of, and I mean no disrespect. I just found out in doing the theme parks that you don't actually get the badges for the theme parks till you go to all 4 planets (rebel) and finish with Luke. I know it sounds stupid, but did you happen to think you were done with Leia like I did for a while? Just a thought...
EDIT: ...and my wife and I both have 2 toons and all 4 did the Corvette too, and all 4 glow. I don't know what else to try dude, other than to do what jkf74 said and list the badges you DO NOT have (go to ctrl+c and look under the 2nd tab)...

I did all 4 planets on the rebel theme park, Corellia, Lok, Dantooine and finally Yavin ending with Luke and definatly got the badge

Is your Jabba faction high enough? If its negative you will need to kill some Valorians first

Update:
Old man visitd this morning...just waiting for Sith now.
All I had before reading this guide was Master Dancer and Master Entertainer...possibly Theed waterfall. But thats it.
I got ALL other badges listed on this list and hit glowy after reading it.

Another confirmation here.
My sense was faint before reading this post. I had two Warren badges, the Imp badge, and the Mark of Courage (irrelevant, apparently). No Jedi POI. Three profs mastered (scout, creature handler, rifleman).
After the post I went out and got a few more marks (Intellect, Honor) with no change. Got Ben's home, the ruins on Dantooine, and the Temple on Yavin. Went to surging. Finished Jabba's park, still surging. Did Nym's and got the glow.
Woo hoo.

You guys must have totally disregarded my post, you don't need to master any professions to get this damn glowy. Personally I dunno how you can be so sure that this dude is right unless he IS a dev. And for all you know it might be different for every player in the game, just like the old way.
I have done all the jedi poi's and all the difficult ones on most of the planets. I have also visited a few secret things. After I visited the first one I felt a faint sense. Then I visited a few more and took a trip to dantooine to visit the ruinded temple. After this I was surging. So unless the devs have no idea what they are doing, which I highly doubt. The checking system is not that bugged, and if it is, its not that bugged.
Just use this as a "guide" as what it is.

Let me start by saying I'm happy for the people this has worked for
Maybe someone can advise me, as i'm losing heartand this doesnt seem to be working for me
Profs mastered: (all before publish 8)
Master Entertainer (starting prof)
Master ID
Master Artisan
Master Medic (holo)
Master scout
Master Brawler (holo)
Master Fencer (holo)
(4th holo Silent)
Master Marksman
Master Smuggler
Completed Jabba and IMP theme parks before pub 9
Took a break from SWG for about 3-4 weeks before Pub 10
Came back last week, read this guide checked my force status "You have a feint sense of the force"(I had no badges except the above prof and theme parks badges) so I thought "cool" ill grab the badges and get glowy so i can get my visit from the old man.
So I now have 44-45 POI Badges + exploration badges (decided to get em all)
I now Have:
Reb theme park
Imp Theme park
Jabba theme park
Nym's theme park
2 Warren Badges
Dead eye part 1
(havent gotten corvette! and to be honest I doubt I will be, the above is way more than some people of had to do)
and yetI'm still on "You have a feint sense of the force" I havent moved at all
I have 3 accounts with SWG (SOE) and 1 of my toons who has only mastered 3 profs is the same force rank as my Holo grind characterwho has more badgesand content
This was gonna be my last shot at SWG as I was staring to get a little bored, and although it was fun flying from planet to planet doing POI's and switching faction to do the Reb theme park etc, I honestly think that its may be time for me to cancel my accounts, Grinding Holo's obviously didnt give me any credit towards Glowy, and getting every POI and nearly every theme park badge has made stuff all difference.
so besides finding a group to tag along with to the corvette, is there anything elseI can do? have I missed something?

Today I went from Faint Sense of the Force to glowing.
here are my stats:
39 badges - including the badges for 25 badges etc etc
Nym's
Rebel Theme Park
Jabba's Theme Park
2 Warren Badges
Project Dead Eye 1&2
4 Holocrons - Commando, Smuggler, ID, WS
16 professions mastered
3 Jedi POI's
Seems pretty standard, also might give insight to the DeadEye helping. Which I dont think it does. THe last week I have completed all 5 of those content badges. Started off as faint sense and went immediately to glowy.
Hope it helps anyone whos looking to shine.

you need to go to that theme park, and have enough faction points for that faction to enter the building. If its Nym's theme park, you need Nym faction points, same for Jabba's, Rebel, and Imp theme parks.

Actually, Nym doesn't appear to check your faction. I completed the park last night, despite having -5000 Nym standing. Sure, the townies were trying to take a hunk of my hide when I rode into town, but Nym had no problem with me.
