Valid or not?

Pocket sand!

Its starwars. It's not important at all

Yeah they poorly try to build up the characters and show their disconnect. The joke is that it's poorly done. That's the real meaning that got lost.

Then write that meaningful dialogue. Lucas is a horrible writer.

Always felt he said sand, because to bring up slavery is to remind him of the abuse he and his mother suffered, but that it also covers the slavery, starvation, abuse, thirst, heat, hard work, horrible treatment and the only real constant thing that was there was sand.

He could have said that. But George Lucas decided to go for: I don't like sand.

Reminds me of my english teacher who saw hidden meanings in shit i wrote the night before. He just doesn't like sand.

Ehh, that's kind of a leap. It might be what Anakin is trying to see, but how are we supposed to know as viewers that that is what he means? It's different in a book, where we know his thoughts, but straight up saying "I don't like sand" in a movie and expecting us to get that meaning behind it is a stretch imo

I don’t care, it’s the worst acting in the history of the entire universe.
