Oh man, I was following this from the start and then somehow missed the museum pictures... congratulations!!
I think as far as the molten foam parts go, it's a pretty situational thing.
I think it HAS to be that size to read properly when people are posing in front of it. In the photographs of the doors alone it looks a little unbalanced, but as soon as you have an R2 blocking an edge here, and a Qui-Gon earnestly thrusting there, what you do see of it is perfect. And if there were any less, you either wouldn't see it at all or you'd be going, "huh? did someone spill some marinara on the display?"
There is also a significant difference between the shots you took lit by camera flash and the more ambient ones where the internal lighting shows (like Geniepants' photo, below)
I think if anything, maybe darkening the edges of the foam to simulate material that is cooling as it flows away would make it look more balanced when viewed alone, and more realistic when you've got a guest thruster in there.
I just can't say enough what a super project this is, and how perfectly I think you executed the vision. Kudos!
