My opinions.
1: Flawed realistic but ultimately likeable hero. Doesn't necessarily have to be a cliche saintlike or perfect hero.
2: Great villain, should be 3 dimensional and by able to sympathised with, like Thrawn, he was technically a "villain" but you never disliked him or even disagreed with him.
3: Great story, good background interworked in the main story and a realistic but still exotic feel. Also I like it when they take down the "hero bubble" and allow them to be killed, akin to A Song of Ice and Fire when it is well done, not like Star by Star when it was for shock value which basically destroyed years of character/story development. (though I believe GL specified who had to die)
