R2 didn’t consent either lol They still joined the fight with the resistance I think the tag should apply at what point did Han say he was a rebel in the original trilogy?
The tags are as much mechanic as lore, and are a snapshot. There are snapshots in Episode VII where you could say Han and Chewie are part of the Resistance. There are parts where you could say they're not. And they're tooled to not go with the Resistance.
Power creep was not so intense when JTR was released. Having the Vets synergise with resistance might have been too powerful back then. With current kits it would hardly be the case, but this is probably one of the reasons why they don't have the tag.
