BB-8 Legendary Event Thread

Just found it rather odd that those two are part of this event, mixed with actual Resistance fighters. I know they were there in the movie with those characters (which is why they SHOULD have the Resistance tag already) but are they officially going to get the tag or was this just a nod to the movie?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Side note: this old man Chewy is going to be at least in Episode 8 with the Resistance. At the very least he should have the tag.
