Late main character intro

I'm writing a script and don't plan on introducing my main character until after page 10. The beginning focuses on the antagonist. Is that ok? Or will it seem like my antagonist is really my main character? And will the switch later throw everything off?

We meet Luke waaay after 10 mins in A New Hope.

I don't think Han's character is non-critical; I see what you're trying to say, but thematically Han has a role to play.

Watch the old Colombo two hour series (Peter was a hoot to work with). The first half hour, we saw the Perp commit his crime. The Lieutenant often didn't show up until the second half hour; and you know, it worked.

Did he say "yoots?"
