But yes, I agree, it'd be fantastic to have even more high quality
videos of editors *and* readers, with or without lightsabers.

Something like that yes, but even better, and with Jedi special effects!

I would like to add to this that I think the key factor is the personal
appeal. You should definitely pick a random Wikimedian and give them a high
falutin message akin to the one in Jimmy's appeal and see how it stacks up.
Chances are it's going to work very well. After all, people don't know who
Jimmy Wales is, and yet his appeal causes them to donate. That boils it down
to the personal nature of the appeal and the content of the message.
If this turns out to be correct you should, pronto, start making LOTS of
these.
