Found on flickr, this cool snapshot of the exclusive Star Wars minifigs released over the years. This is the opportunity to take stock of these characters who are sometimes difficult to find, often too expensive, and always over-valued by speculators ....
On the far left we find the  Chrome Darth Vader (4547551), released in 2009 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars range. Originally this minifig was available in North America, inserted at random in some sets, then offered in Sweden when pre-ordering the 8017 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter set, and finally offered during a purchase in the Toys store chain. R-Us in Great Britain.
It can be found today on eBay around 20 € or bricklink from 24 €, prices reaching 68 € at some sellers.

In the center, we find the Chrome Gold C-3PO (sw158), and if you are an avid reader of this blog, I already told you about it in this article on the different versions of this minifigure.
This minifigure has been produced in 10.000 copies. This is a plastic minifigure covered with gold colored chrome and delivered in a white bag mentioning the limited nature of this edition and celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. This minifigure was inserted at random in sets marketed in the United States in 2007 (except for battle packs). this minifigure is in all points similar to a classic C-3PO minifig, it is articulated in the same way. His torso is screen printed.
This minifig can be found for sale on bricklink from 143 € or on eBay at exorbitant prices depending on the presence or not of the bag (sealed or not).

On the right, we find the Chrome Stormtrooper (2853590) released in 2010 offered as a gift when ordering LEGO Star Wars products. It will later be found in the Toys-R-Us chain stores in Canada and the United States. It is currently found on bricklink around 10 € and on eBay for around 12/18 €.

Behind the Chrome Stormtrooper we find the White boba fett (2853835) also released in 2010 for the 30th anniversary of Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. This minifig was distributed at the Toy Fair in New York in 2010. It is estimated that 20.000 minifigs are produced and distributed. It is currently found on bricklink for 15 € or eBay for also around 15 €.

Finally, in the background we find the Shadow ARF Trooper (2856197) released in 2011 and first distributed for free as part of the "May the Fourth be with you" promotion for purchasing LEGO products online or in store. It is already for sale on bricklink for around 17 € or eBay for around 20 €.
