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.

He was being paid by Obi Wan and Luke to smuggle them and the droids to Alderran....During which time they were caught in the Death Stars tractor beam and had to use stolen Stormtrooper disguises to sneak around the Deathstar in order to shut down the tractor beam and escape. Han was NOT a rebel during this time, he was merely a smuggler on the job trying to escape...

    Guess I should starts a thread why Jyn Erso is a rebel.


    Precisely. She's only a rebel in the dictionary sense that she doesn't listen to anyone. Even the actual Rebels. And she's only with them for the duration of the movie which appears to only be several days at most.

    Chirrut and Baze, by everyone's arguments here, should also not be Rebels as the only things they did were one minor skirmish at the landing platform and the Battle of Scariff. Other than that they were Guardians of the Whills.
