What are the things that you think makes someone stand out for Best Smuggler/Criminal? What criteria do you think the Sithies judges should be looking for in nominations?

When someone says 'smuggler', people automatically think 'Han Solo'. Suave, sexy, trouble-makin' rogue with a snarky remark for every situation, a blaster, a ship, a sharp brain (most of the time), and tons of illegal cargo. A smuggler loves their ship, loves their credits, and loves themselves. They are always just a few steps behind pirate, a few ahead of criminal, forever on the move. Smugglers don't settle. They are tough, forward, sometimes selfish. They like their booze, they brag at bars, they fight dirty when needed. No loyalty to the 'sides', they like to think they are uncomplicated. But they really aren't.
Since most smuggler characters fit at least eighty percent of the above blurb, well. It's easy to spot a smuggler/criminal type. Determining which is the best? Now THAT is kriffin' hard. How well do they understand the smuggling life? What kind of story are they writing, does it showcase the smuggler type, what other kinds of characters do they run with? Do they lead a crew? If so, how well do they do it? What's their dynamic like?
In short, they should showcase at least half of the 'A Smuggler Is' personality listed above.

A good criminal is ruthless, cold, calculating ,an opportunist and rash. A criminal goes for control and power through money or intimidation preferring to work in the dark and the shadows.
Though they are loyal to their own people until they betray their trust or they could just be in it for the money.

A good criminal looks at everything from a different perspective to most. Most people look at interactions as either personal, emotional, empathetic/apathetic/sympathetic perspectives. A good criminal sees things through a business perspective, and that is what makes him/her do much of what they do, it's strictly business to them. A passionate display of this, or of a calculative sadistic person that commits the crime out of some form of satisfaction derived from the act.
