Chewbacca, a staple of the Star Wars series and a character who is beloved, is thought to suddenly and violently die by the hands of the First Order. In fact, he survives to the end of the movie.

Audiences know that Leia has died before other characters in the film - mainly Rose - know that she has died.
Verbal Irony: C3PO
After C3PO tells Poe Dameron that he can't translate the Sith language, Poe says that "So you're telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can't?" This is sarcastic and ironic: C3PO often talks incessantly, something which Poe is making fun of.
