Glentract, you're being Luke-biased and OT-biased again. Anakin was a MUCH better pilot with a wealth of more experience. He won races humans couldn't even challenge when he was a mere boy, while Luke didn't even have a go at an X-Wing until he was 20 years old. Anakin fought in his starfighter in large wars and battles, the likes of which Luke has never seen, and Anakin's strength and mastery of the force is far more complete, granting him greater reflexes and clarity.
And an X-Wing is a MUCH bigger target than a Jedi Starfighter, and you also forget that Anakin's modified his, too.
Btw, done before. Search button, please.
But doesn't enjoy it as much, of course. 😉
Most Jedi on the Council could probably take Luke in a starfighter fight.
Luke does pull of the Eye of the Needle on Tatooine, I must note. No one had ever done that before in the history of the planet, or so I read.
But a human podracing is a far greater feat.
