10 Awesome Star Wars Characters Only In One Scene

1. Paige Tico - The Last Jedi

It's fair to say that no single Star Wars character had as much of impact in such a short time as Paige Tico.

Appearing during the opening moments of Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Paige was a character who audiences instantly bought into and were planning to stay with for the long haul. This badass freedom fighter was ferocious and unrelenting in her mission, and it was a genuine gut punch when Paige was killed off after only a few minutes of action.

Played by Ngo Thanh Van, Tico was left up against impossible odds that saw her ultimately sacrificing herself for the greater good as she took down one of the First Order's massive Hammer vessels. With gritted teeth and iron will, Paige is left completely unfazed at the realisation of what she has to do - and thus she is happy to become yet another casualty of war if it means making even the smallest of chinks in the First Order's armour.

There's no doubting that The Last Jedi certainly split opinion amongst fans, but one of the few things that everyone seems to agree on is that Paige Tico was a huge positive for the movie. Also, Paige's death served as fuel for her sister Rose to become part of the main narrative of The Last Jedi.
