I have no problem believing Anakin found the parts from a broken down protocol droid lying around Watto’s digs and put it back together. I don’t think we were ever meant to think he machined the parts himself or anything like that.
Well, I’m fine with Anakin being able to assemble a droid. It’s the fact that C3PO and Anakin/Vader are somehow “relatives”, that they know each other. It always bothered me to no end since I was a kid 😄

As much as I hate to admit it, someone pointed out to me recently that if you watch them in chronological order, Anakin building 3PO isn’t a problem at all. This kid makes a droid, and then it stays with his gang for the rest of the movies. It only seems stupid when you already know 3PO before you see TPM.
As for the ESB thing, there’s a difference between him thinking out loud (ESB) and doing schticky commentary about what’s happening in real time (AOTC).
