Lol one thing that compounds my sin is that I liked the prequels.
But I can explain the sleekness of the ships on Naboo versus the military fighters from the original three.
I served in the Military and my five ton truck was built back in the early 80s late 70s. We just had to keep them running and replace them as little as possible.
Now you look at any Semi on the road and many look nicer and are in better condition visually than the ones in the military. This is because the private company only has to ask it's CEO and other execs "Hey can we buy, fix up, paint, our trucks" and there is no Senate appropriations committee.
Naboo is like a private company compared to the entire galactic empire. They only have to worry about Naboo and can buy nicer looking ships that cost more but look good. The galactic empire can't afford to do that because they have many more ships to maintain and would bankrupt themselves if they had to buy a whole new star destroyer every few years.
On top of that it's never mentioned that those ships were Military Vehicles. We are talking a society to whom space travel is common. Luke flew an X-Wing fighter to Dagobah like it was a short little road trip and he was in a car.
In a society where you probably can't call the Space Police, since it's never indicated one exists beyond hoping a Jedi is in range to help you, you would naturally have weapons on all space going vessels. As such the ships they conscripted could have been the Naboo Senate parking garage.
Like someone invading DC and conscripting the Congress' cars because they happen to have weapons on their BMWs, Mercedes and Rolls Royce compared to a Humvee.
