I know I'm probably killing the buzz but is it just me or does this actually look terrible?

Ever imagined what is on that wall in the Falcon? Turns out just some random wires that we glued to a piece of black MDF.

Compare it to the detailing on the rest of the OT Falcon. Everything looks designed, substantial, densely packed and functional:

If I'd dressed that back part of the cockpit, I'd consider it a bad day at the office.

By the way, forgive me if this wall was actually modeled for the OT and it always looked this bad (Probably why the camera didn't dwell on it then).

It's also possible that's the real wiring for the lights and effects in the cockpit and the paneling has been removed between takes, or wasn't finished yet when the photo was taken.

It actually reminds me of a behind the scenes photo I once saw of the wiring for the original Enterprise bridge.
