What determines which character can be borrowed from an ally?
For a given ally, I don't always get the same character to borrow, but it's usually one of the same two or three, and often it's the same one. It seems like it could be a random selection from among their most powerful characters. I've also read that it might be the character the ally most recently used as their leader.
I've noticed that my most recent team affects what's available. For example, if I had Chewie on my last team (for that squad) then no Chewies are available to borrow. That makes sense, in that I can't have two Chewies on my team, but they could just remove him on the squad selection and force me to replace him with someone else. Anyway, that's at least one thing that affects who can be borrowed, but is there anything else we know for sure?

One other note:
The restriction on picking a hero that is currently in your team seems to only apply to the last leader you used. For example, say I had a team consisting of Lando leading, with Biggs, Luke, Chewbacca and Stormtrooper Han. While no Lando allies would appear in the list of possible allies, it is perfectly possible to find any of the other heroes and select them.
As you cant have two of the same hero, this causes the hero that is the same as the ally you've chosen being removed from your team (for that fight) and another character being put on your team automatically, based on what other characters you have available.
