Every story has its own standards which makes the heinous standard vary for example GTA only has one CM from what I can tell though in other stories some would of counted but the heinous standard of the series makes those who otherwise would count not for GTA. In nearly any good series they make both sides have flaws and some even make each side have a point.

No, good stories do not generally have both sides have flaws. In fact, if anything, that's the mark of an extremely bad story. There's even a name for that kind of mistake, it's called "Darkness Induced Audience Apathy."

And no, there IS a moral absolute, and usually with heroes and villains, there's supposed to be a line that heroes must not cross to descend into villainy, and if what the Jedi say is true and there is no moral absolutes, then there is no good or evil, because without morality, those are just words, utterly meaningless concepts.
