Suck maybe, lose money, not likely.
Even though Star Wars isn't at the height of it's popularity anymore I still predict it will make quite a bit - just considering how much many of the comic book/super hero films continue to make (I don't think I know one person who grew up in the 90s-2000s reading Iron Man or Thor comics, yet those movies still managed to gross quite a bit for example).

If it sucks, around $1 Billion, if it's fairly good $1.5 billion and if it's awesome $2 billion+.

If it sucks, Id say a billion.
If its awesome, and best seen only in a theater (got to take Netflix into account killing the theater industry) then 2 1/2 billion. Yes, 2 1/2 BILLION dollars.

Ok, I was looking at the numbers for the prequel trilogy and I stand by my previous number. I say about $1.4 billion. I expect it to make more than episode I due to inflation/3D, but I don't expect it to be crazy more. If it's not good, then episode VIII will make $900 million.

Just a random guess, but I'm going to guess:
If word-of-mouth is bad: $500-800M
If word-of-mouth is good: $1.2-1.5B
Give or take a couple hundred million.

I had a dream the other day where George Lucas was being an insecure little sh*t and rubbing into everyone's face that the new Star Wars made $700 million on opening weekend.
I'm changing my prediction.
It will make at least $1.8 billion. I don't know where it will top out. When adjusted for inflation Episode one would have made over $700 million domestic and I think this movie is more hyped than that one was.
Episode 7 could topple James Cameron as the box office god...
