I’m not such a giant fan of it myself. Though, if it results in the water I can tolerate it, however Anakin got here from a desert planet, so I understood his contempt for it.
Actually, I get it. Most of our expertise with sand comes from going to the seaside, and whereas lots of people love the seaside, does anyone actually love sand? It is tough and it does get in every single place. A minimum of we get to get pleasure from an ocean as a part of coping with sand, however that’s one thing Anakin Skywalker by no means obtained to get pleasure from on Tatooine.
