He is subtle enough to let dead Qui Gon call out for Anakin during the massacre, he carefully laid out Anakin's already formed attachments when he joined the Jedi in Ep1, and then shows his inability to let go of them regarding his mother, and him finally projecting them on Padme when he "fails" his mother. The same conflict we see in Ep 2 we then see in Ep III on a much grander and deadlier scale.
In this context I think it would be naive to believe Anakin was really just talking about his literal dislike of sand, and not figuratively about his lowly background and character conflicts. Accordingly, the great musical theme accompanying them is called star-crossed-lovers.
I thinks Lucas deserves more credit as a storyteller than he is given, one just needs the mind for it.
