Critics often scoff at the moment when Anakin says, “I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.” But if you grew up on a desert planet and associated sand with slavery and with abandoning your mother at a young age, you would hate sand as well.

No, I would hate the planet.

For example, lets say someone lives in a bad, crime filled neighborhood. He wouldn’t say “I hate asphalt, because it makes the street I live on” he would say “I hate this street I live on.”

And they still wouldn’t say that in that scenario

We will have to agree to disagree. I think that Anakin was socially awkward and nervous around Padmé, so he said the first thing that came to mind when she spoke of lying in the sand. That line should have been cut because it adds nothing to the story, but I could still imagine him saying that.
