If you were to light the ships of star wars realistically most of the time all the ships would be black and sometimes they would look like bleached out glowing shapes.

The film ships that got closest to proper space lighting were the Enterprise in TMP

and the Leonov in 2010

and even then they cheated by having the non-native stars visible in a stellar system (usually all you can see is blackness and nearby objects the local star/ stars would bleach them out).

The dust on the moon is charcoal grey and yet from Earth with the sun's light bouncing off it the moon appears to be a source of light rather than a reflector.

Star Wars space shots are composed to look more like pulp magazines than real space.

The lighting of the Queen's ship like the lighting of most of the ships in Star Wars is more like a plane in the sky than a object in space.
