There is a very good use of non-diegetic right at the start where the music seems to control the cuts to different shots. The simplicity of the single piano notes as well as the atmosphere that they create really works with the mysterious masked figure that we first see.
There are lots of examples diegetic and non-diegetic sound working together like when a ship activates light-speed in time to a bass drum to make it sound more powerful or when Kylo Ren draws his light-sabre in beat the the theme tune to emphasise each movement.
The thunder storm surrounding the evil Kylo Ren is an extremely good example of using diegetic sound to emphasise something in the shot or an emotion of a character (like the sun being out when someone is happy, a pathetic fallacy).
The blasters sound great, and are practically the same from the original trilogy. Using the same sound like they did was a great idea because it is such a well known noise and is present in many other sci-fi movies, not just Star Wars; using anything else would kill everyone's nostalgia.
