Even if it was massive enough, if they can keep people sticking to the ground in a tiny ship they can surely counteract the gravity of a space station.
Also, most of their spaceships have wings. We’re thinking about this way too hard.
Well, yeah, but we’ve also seen the ones that look like a hamburger patty fly through the atmosphere (and, in fact, outmaneouver the winged ones). Clearly that’s not what they’re for.
The hamburger was originally a cargo ship, the one we see is special in that it has a bunch of very expensive, very powerful engines added.
It’s no wonder that a street racer can outpace army jeeps. Also, they couldn’t outpace TIE fighters in Ep.IV, which are known for being very fast for a coffee table.

They don’t all have wings. Only the X-Wing and Imperial transport ships have actual wings, and we’ve seen them fly through atmospheres.

Ah yeah. Dang. Well there probably a good technical reason behind it. I’m no starship engineer in the Star Wars universe.

I think the usual in universe reasoning is heat dissipation.
They are clearly not wings meant to create aerodinamic lift.
Well, no, they’re meant to make the pew-pew laser fights look like a film about airplane dogfights. So yeah, way overthinking it.
You’re here discussing it too, man
Oh, yeah, no, but that’s because I’m a nerd.
