But her Star Wars lines were all comedy, and her Empire lines were not. She may have been ungrateful for the rescue, but the complaining lines were jokes ... and they got laughs.

That's what I meant by the tonedeafness of the writers. 40's wiseguy banter may be nasty, but it's very funny. The same nastiness without the talent of comedic writing is just ... well, just nasty.
