Oh, God bless him, he's so fun in those Star Wars Marathon videos...I love the little girl telling him her Mum had watched him in the classic Hammer films and she wanted to know if he was really scary in real life! Shades of the little boy who asked me if Count Dooku had ever been mean to me. :D The people at the marathon were so obviously delighted to see him and hear him (the reaction to his voice the first time he speaks! The interviewer points at him like "isn't that GREAT???" The minute he starts talking, he instantly has everyone enraptured). And the machintosh joke, that even Jedi occasionally need to wear them...that's the Christopher I fell in love with...what a great sense of humor and he still commands his audience so easily. Reminds me of my college acting class visit he made in 1979...the way he just sits down and everyone looks as if the Pope has just entered the room. And he just takes it all in stride...'ah, well, another day, another great epic film I'm in...and I sing, too!' And then at the end of the interview, he does that double hand small wave to the audience, just very nice. As my 24 year old co-worker says "Awesome...he's so cool!" Yep.
