Naturally, the long-running range has yielded some interesting trends since 1999, so today we are sharing some absolutely useless LEGO Star Wars trivia, continuing our semi-annual series on the topic!
Ahead of a number of Star Wars related articles that we have planned for today, there's just time to remind you that the current offers at LEGO.com will be coming to and end tomorrow, so if you've not yet placed your order, now would be a good time to do so!

Today's random minifigure is hp311Tom Riddle - Black Long Hogwarts Coat and Vest, Light Bluish Gray Legs, a Harry Potter figure that came in one set, 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, released during 2021.
Our members collectively own a total of 10,684 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $4.50.
The conclusion of The Mandalorian season three saw Moff Gideon's return, residing beneath the surface of Mandalore and heavily armoured to match his base of operations. 75386 Paz Vizsla and Moff Gideon Battle therefore introduces an exclusive Moff Gideon minifigure!
Paz Vizsla has also received an update since the character debuted in 75319 The Armourer's Mandalorian Forge and faces two new Imperial Praetorian Guards. On that basis, the minifigure selection seems exceptional and I think the model looks good too, reflecting the location from the television series.
