There's more than that. Two Ewok Adventures plus the CGI Clone Wars movie makes it at least 14, and that's not counting the Christmas Special.

James Horner's soundtrack was great, was really apart of the flavor of the film. The music for the final battle was cliche but dramatic. I have a few tracks added to my favorite's playlist. He also did the music for the Star Trek movies RIP.

Nervous about the music for the sequel. Apparently it's being done by a guy called Simon Franglen. I don't recall having heard anything good from him. We'll see.

lol remember when Cameron hired a bunch of experts and talented music people to create a unique musical score based on indigenous music, then realized that it didn't sound movie-music enough and just trashed everything and brought on James Horner instead?

They put a tremendous amount of thought into the music and did a lot of experimentation, though ultimately they just didn't have enough experience with the bizzare sounds and scales they were using to make a soundtrack that they'd feel confidant in. Perhaps if Horner had more experience with those bizzare sounds and scales he could've pulled it off. Doubt they will attempt that again or else the score could come off as inconsistent with the musical style established in the first film.

Horner was fine enough, but was infamous for recycling his own work so frequently and thoroughly that you can't tell which Horner-scored movie you're watching by the soundtrack.

Apollo 13’s ending and Avatar have music that’s sometimes identical

Hans Zimmer does it too, Gladiator and Lion King 2 both have extensive sections of what would become the Pirates of the Caribbean main theme

Several other aspects of production design also raised our concerns. The artist’s rendering of the Blue Flute (the clan totem) was not a flute, but organologically speaking, a trumpet. Another sketch showed a chordophone reminiscent of Harry Partch’s kithara. A drawing of a drum mentioned a “complex rhythmic structure which features multi-layered elliptical time signatures derived from the orbital patterns of their solar system.” I realized that there was a disconnect between the artistic concept and the ethnomusicological/organological perspective. They were drawing interesting pictures; I was looking for musical logic. Months after the film was released, I discovered that Cameron himself was aware of similar issues. He justified these concerns by explaining that on occasion, a detail or two may have been overlooked or consciously ignored in the interest of storytelling.

John Williams too - the Harry Potter theme originates from part of his Witches of Eastwick score, and Attack of the Clones & Chamber of Secrets use identical music for some of their action sequences.

I don't see what the problem is here. What, a flute music is playing in a scene where a background character is playing a horn looking instrument that you can only see for 2 seconds? Superfluous details shouldn't usurp making an enjoyable story.

Agreed, but I'm remembering some lore I read about how most of the RDA gear is 3D printed/assembled on Pandora (makes a ton of sense, the starships should carry as little payload as they can get away with), and trying to think through the implications of that for evolving military tech. Presumably the design of an updated gunship would have to come from Earth, and it'd be no big deal to send new digital plans, but if your on-site workforce has built one thing that worked (until it blew up), why not just repeat that?

With a ~14 year time skip, there could be a new design, but for a weapons platform that large, unless there's a lot of warfare on Earth driving improvements, I doubt there'd be a generational shift. The stuff you'd expect to improve would be mostly hidden - electronic stuff like comms and sensors, maybe some slightly better engines, better seeker heads on more agile missiles. The cockpit layout might not change at all.

I would expect smaller scale stuff to evolve more rapidly - the single person mechs especially if the RDA is switching to all out warfare.

Some interesting tidbits on the Avatar sequels (and Dune) in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgZQK7cfx_0

at 4:41, while discussing the concurrent shoots of parts 2/3, Cameron says he's already shot parts of part 4, because "the kids are allowed to age six years in the middle of the story, on page 25 of movie 4."

Combined with some other mentions of Earth as a location for parts of the later films, this all but confirms (in my mind anyway) my theory that part 4/5 will (partly at least) be about Pandora natives changing conditions on Earth (saving Gaia, not just Pandora/Eywa).

Eh, I don't know. Not as in "I don't think that will happen" but as in "uh, I don't think this is a good idea". Nobody liked the first film because of the messaging. People liked it because it was an escapist fantasy movie that explored a really cool world. Movie 2 will probably do well because it will probably deliver more on that, with our heroes exploring an underwater fantasy world. If the sequels return to boring old, run down earth (we live on earth and find it boring. And megacorporate and a ruined earth has been beaten to death in entertainment media), then I don't think it's going to have that mass audience appeal.
