Just watched it! It was a really clever idea to use footage from the making of Doc as a framing device. Besides some audio hiccups I think it works really really well. I think I would cut out 3PO’s line about his arm since it isn’t really relevant to the Boba Fett story.
I think using that as a framing device could make for another interesting edit where you could have three small stories that R2 and 3PO tell. Obviously you have the Boba Fett story and the story about Chewie’s family. But three would be a good number to round the whole thing off I think. I was trying to think of what other story you could fit into there, and I think it would be really interesting if you took all the Star Wars deleted scenes of Luke before his introduction and turned it into that third story. I don’t really know if there would be enough footage or any relevant dialogue from the Making of Doc for it to fit in there, but in retrospect it would have made a lot of sense for them to have included that material into the Holiday Special in some way. I think a lot of fans would have loved to have seen a bit of Luke’s life before he got caught up in the whole adventure.
Anyway, I think giving this a nice Christmas vibe was great, and good timing for some fans to watch before seeing Rise of Skywalker next week!
