I predict the Avatar sequels will be massive "relative bombs" (they'll still make plenty of money but relative to budget and expectations will disappoint the studio massively).
The first movie was visually spectacular, but story-wise flawed. It's success was fueled by the 3D phenomenon that has since died out, and nobody cares about it anymore.
James Cameron is enough of a creative talent, that I hold out hope his Avatar movies will be good, but the first one was his worst movie in a long time.
Star Wars needs to get out of the creative bankruptcy it's currently in. Jumping to a completely different time period with no previous characters would probably be a good move.
