I'm the Chosen One:

Interesting take on Dooku being jealous of Annikin, but I'm not quite sure why it struck you as being that way. Maybe it was the way I worded something, I don't know, but Dooku certainly isn't jealous of Annikin being deemed the Chosen One, nor is he jealous of Sarus having the information. The simplest explanation for why he's not jealous is because he thinks the very idea that there could be a Chosen One is preposterous.

Remember, Dooku flips out at Sarus and deems this whole thing to be ridiculous because he's offended by it. He's offended by the suggestion that Alsius Hoth (that first name was made by me, it's not canon) and Valenthyne Farfalla could've failed in destroying the Sith in Path of Destruction and Rule of Two, respectively. The way he sees it, if there are no more Sith then there can't be a Chosen One, and he 100% believes there are no more Sith. Of course, there is an element of him thinking Annikin is useless, but it's not because Dooku thinks he should be the Chosen One because of Annikin.

In regards to pushing the secondary characters, you're right. People like Logan may not be part of the "Big 3" (Annikin, Obi-Wan, and, a few chapters from now, Padmé), but he still has a very important role to play. He's going to have an influence with Annikin, but more importantly with the queen. He's going to be very important to her both now and in the future. Let's just say that Alexander Arcadia, who was referenced in a Journal of the Whills quote in an earlier chapter, has to come from somewhere...
