Anyone know how this effect was created? I’m talking about the blue streaks coming from the back of his space ship.

thats literally a circle-esque texture on translucency that is being emitted hundreds if not thousands of times.  
Just follow a few cascade tutorials and you can make something like this with your eyes closed.
