So excited.

I don't mind the rear of the cockpit looking like that. To me, it looks like cable management for wiring the cockpit with the covering panels removed for better access for repairs and whatnot.

It's ugly because it's something that technically want meant to be seen, but is uncovered for access. It fits the Falcon. If you compare that photo to the one with Mark and Harrison that Jaitea posted, you can see that there are larger panels on the cockpit side of the ring (behind Harrison's back) that weren't there in the OT. Chalk it up to thirty years of improvements and repairs.
