Tarkin and Leia had a pretty great casual back and forth before it was revealed they were going to blow up her planet.
I dunno. I loved Poe trolling Hux. I thought it fit his character perfectly. Are they all supposed to be super serious wooden soldiers all the time? I thought the humor was one of the best parts of the film. BB8 fixing the X-Wing like trying to plug a dam had me laughing pretty hard.
I also never really considered the First Order to be the force that the Empire was and it was obvious that their leadership was thin. I saw them more as a decently organized terrorist group than a fully integrated and functioning government entity like the empire.

Yeah, and the string of terrified officers failing Vader in ESB. "Apology accepted, Captain Needa." Those guys are entirely Vader's punching bag, but being military officers they know their place and just accept it. Hux doesn't know his place, which is why I think he's great for the FO.
That moment where he sees Kylo on the ground, hesitates, reaches for his blaster, then Kylo moves and he realizes he missed his chance... that's perfect. No imperial officer would even dream of that, but Hux would spend the rest of his (probably short) life regretting that moment of hesitation.
