[SW Hero Device] Heroes cannot pick up loot.

Summary

Players using a hero from the hero device cannot pick up loot, such as weapons or keycards dropped as loot, from NPC definitions spawned with the NPC spawner. This may be intentional to keep the integrity of the characters in check(No Chewy with a lightsaber) however they should be able to pick up certain loot or they risk being locked out of island progression due to conditional buttons requiring keycards or other looted items.

Is this an intended feature because it would be nice if we can choose the heroes items?
