That ship design always bothered me since nothing in the OT, not even the good Imperial stuff, was that sleek and shiny.

I've never been that bothered by it, as that's just the Naboo ship design aesthetic. No Imperial stuff was ever really supposed to look "classy", it was supposed to be practical and rugged, even if sometimes sleek; Imperial ships are military vessels, after all. You're looking at ship aesthetic in the Star Wars universe in a vertical scale, where worse stuff looks worse (lower down on the scale) and better stuff looks better (higher up on the scale). I think it should be looked at more horizontally - different ship aesthetics don't denote better or worse (for the most part), but instead denote different purposes or cultures.
