This arrangement has some significance. At the very least, it foreshadows the association between artificial limbs and the dark side of the Force that Anakin will exhibit as Darth Vader. In a comment to Luke in Return of the Jedi, Obi-Wan mentions this connection: "He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil."
(The different qualities of Anakin's arms also hold significance in a scene in "Crisis at the Heart" [S6E7], which I've written about here.)
