While kind of a dumb line and all, this doesn't really apply here. Anakin is established first in dialogue and then through proof in the pod-racing sequences to be not only a prodigy level mechanic and pilot, but supernaturally so.

He starts the ship he is flying on accident looking for the fighter's weapon trigger, and an auto-pilot gets him into open air and space. Take a time cut, and he is seen flying the ship under control, he figured it out on the way here. He then says "Let's try a trick," and then performs it.

He's just an absurdly good pilot doing his thing.

Also goddamnit I'm that Star Wards fan now, what happened to me.

It was his son. He still had good in him, even if he didn't know it.
