Smuggler Event & Stormtrooper Han
Can someone please explain to me why Stormtrooper Han doesn't have the Smuggler faction tag? Han dressed as Stormtrooper in A New Hope while on the job as a smuggler. He was NOT a rebel at that time. ...

I actually agree with ST Han not being a Smuggler. For the very brief time he was dressed as a Stormtrooper, he only had two very specific goals; 1) Rescue Leia to collect the financial reward, and 2) Escape the Death Star. Neither of those goals have anything to do with smuggling. He was smuggling before and after that time frame but none of his actions were smuggling related while he wore that uniform.
So because unforseen events happened in the middle of carrying out a smuggling job, he isn't a smuggler during the brief window of time in which these events occurred?
That brief period of time happened when he was still in the middle of the smuggling job. Just because the planet was blown up doesn't mean the job ended. He still had to take them some place and was still smuggling goods that were being pursued by the empire (the droids). That literally makes no sense at all lol. The goals at that time are irrelevant as it all happened while he was working the smuggling job...Clearly as a smuggler he wants to escape and not be charged with smuggling by the empire or have his ship (source of occupation) taken from him and why would he pass on the opportunity to make even more money on top of what he was already owed for smuggling them? And after escaping and rescuing Leia he had to smuggle them to the secret hidden rebel base...
