Genuinely curious: does this apply to all the Star Wars imports into UF, or just the YT-1300 and the Y-Wing?

The knobbly look was sort of de rigeur among pretty much every ship in Star Wars. Even the X-Wing and A-Wing have a lot of weird protuberances and antennas and stuff, and its common right on down from the Death Star all the way to TIE Fighters. The only thing I can think of that has that smooth 'well-clad' look is the Lambda-class shuttle.
