What a pathetic disappointment, I’m an adult not a spotty teenager or toddler so this has zero appeal. I guess it’s aimed at the children of rich people.

This seems like a childish reaction. Why are you so upset about a product that no one expected, and is the same price/performance as the existing model but looks a little different?

I don't think this collector's edition card has anything to do with the release of newer cards.

It does though. This is being treated as a new card. It gives Nvidia some PR marketing hype and the ability to say they have a new product on the market.
 
I could imagine building a special rig with one of these cards and using it to play star wars. I could totally imagine that. That would really be something.
This card is really stupid, but it looks cool and I want it because its a cool star wars card, and that's really cool. But its a GPU, so that's stupid. It will suck and be worthless garbage in 2 years. That's really silly and stupid, but yeah, I can totally imagine all that stuff I just said.
 
I don't really see any collective value in it as a GPU at least. Not sure it would be a wise investment as a collectible. The more valuable collectibles had no collective value at the time.
 
Cool, but probably pointless from a logical standpoint. $1200 for a blower Titan XP that will only be faster than cheaper 1080 Ti if you run it loud as a jet engine to sustain 2GHz+, and we're probably within 6-7 months at the most of cheaper and faster GTX 2080.

Though I wouldn't blame a hardcore fan for an SLI rig for Battlefront 2... as long as the purchase doesn't affect their bottom line.

You’re right, I thought I was a grown up but I’m simply a little boy in a fully grown man’s body. Yes, let’s all cosplay Star Wars with our themed GPUs in our super star destroyer rigs, I just wish it looked more like the Millennium Falcon.

Now considering this is just a rumor and no other details are mentioned, it’s advised to take this information with a grain of salt.

Wonder if they're talking about consumer volta or V100's successor. The way things are I wouldn't be 110% certain which of those will get announced first!
