Sweet, Sweet Irony

"Your overconfidence is your weakness," Luke said with defiance to the Emperor.
"Your faith in your friends is yours," snarled the Emperor in reply.
-Poorly Adapted from Return of the Jedi

Is it not interesting that, in the end, Luke's overconfidence left him blasted by lightning from the Emperor's fingertips while the Emperor was hurled to his death by Darth Vader, the closest thing to a "friend" the soul-less evil megalomaniac had?

It is said that we spot our own weaknesses most readily in others. I think I agree.
