You have been given good insight from the members that have posted.
Hopefully, they have answered your questions.
Here is my contribution.


what are they?
Miniature art.
Typically, for what you possess, a sketch card is an original, one of a kind, piece of art created by an approved artist who has been selected by the licensed card company.
The sketch card sizes vary; the most common sketch card size is (approximately) 2.5inches by 3.5inches.

Are they rare?
Yes.
They are not mass produced cards.
Each sketch card is an original piece of art by the artist.
Because each sketch card is an original, the term "one-of-one" or "1/1" is often utilized.

Are they valuable?
Yes and no.
The question is subjective to each individual (whether buyer or seller).
Ultimately, it will be the buyer who decides what they are willing to pay to have that sketch card.
Is the artist popular amongst collectors?
Will the sketch card create a buying frenzy amongst collectors?
Is a Star Wars sketch card valuable at a place that is selling sports memorabilia?
If you are a hardcore fan of Star Trek memorabilia and you think Star Wars sucks, will you consider the Star Wars sketch card valuable?

Are they just another insert?
Yes.



Below are the only (4) Star Wars sketch cards (by the artist you have) that have sold, as of the date & time of my posting, in eBay's "Sold Items".
Note that each character is well established and popular among Star Wars fans.
The characters are Boba Fett, Princess Leia & R2-D2, Chewbacca, and Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master).
