Wouldn't the mirroring idea work better if Dooku had convinced Anakin to join him?

Oh, it would, but you forget that:

Much later, as I began to consider certain very strange scenes in the new trilogy, I realized that they were all elements of a hidden story, adding up to a precise opposite of the original trilogy

In the Bizzaroverse the Prequel Universe, opposites are encouraged. The Hoth battle had walking tanks, the prequel Mars planet place had rolling tanks. Exact and precise opposite. The classic trilogy was well written and directed. The prequel trilogy was brilliantly opposite of this!

I'm liking this new tool of logical argumentation. I'd bet I could prove all sorts of new ideas!
