At the end of James Cameron's 'Avatar' (Dances With Wolves II; Now Featuring Blue Indians), the humans are shown evacuating Pandora after being defeated by the 'Blue Aliens', leaving the 'unobtanium', which was previously stated to be "essential" to the survival of man, locked within the planet...
Since 'unobtanium' is "essential" to the survival of mankind, it's unlikely that Selfridge would simply leave the planet, effectively dooming humanity.
Instead, isn't it far more likely that he is simply getting the humans off the planet so that he can order his fleet of spaceships to execute an exterminatus, something the strictly-terrestrial 'Blue Aliens' would be completely defenseless against, allowing him to return once Pandora's biomass had burned off and mine the unobtanium completely unmolested by 'Blue Aliens'???
Humans are already forced to use breathing apparatuses in Pandora's toxic atmosphere, so it's not as though they'd be any worse off in an atmosphere consisting of the gasses released from the incineration of the planet's biomass...
Had Avatar run for another five minutes, audiences would have likely witnessed a glorious human victory over the 'Blue Aliens' and the Human Traitors fighting by their side. That victory would have resembled something like this;
With their destruction, the 'Blue Aliens' and the human-traitors who aided them, would rapidly be forgotten as humanity enters it's next 'Golden Age', with a second planet to terraform and settle, and an unlimited supply of energy from unobtanium...
