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

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.

Or it's just Palpatines' way of compensating for looking like Deadpool's grandfather.

Everyone knows the rules of the Empire. If you're gonna go bad, go black. And shiny. It goes with everything. And shows less blood splatters.

Also, no where in Coruscant's scenes are there shiny ships, only Amidalas. Like seriously Padme, if you're going for low key, make yourself the only target that can show up like a giant bullseye. At least in atmosphere. I believe it was tried to be explained off as the skin of the ship was impervious to minor turbolaser fire. Thinking about this, that would have negated the entire premise of being stranded on Tattooine.

Which would also have been cool for Phasma. Except she wasnt impervious to garbage chutes. Sigh. Star Wars tech gone wrong.
