I don't disagree with your statement that overconfidence is the Empire's weakness, as we've seen it displayed quite a few times before (and in fact, the founding of America itself was that in practice). I'm not entirely sure why you brought this up in response to me (at least, I suspect this response was toward my post mentioning my newfound, albeit reluctant, support for the Empire and my reasons why). I wasn't objecting to that, I was objecting specifically to the Rebels being the Vietcong and the Empire being America as Lucas stated it, due to it being disgusting, and besides which, it isn't even close to accurate as to what happened in Vietnam (for one thing, it was actually the Rebel Alliance in this case that was massively overconfident, almost suicidally so, not America, and if anything we realized pretty clearly the threat they posed.).
