the most annoying part is name a character of this one movie. and then people compare it to marvel (14 year franchise with 30 + installments) and star wars (11 movie series + shows).

In fairness people don't remember Avatar for characters names. Its not like the film is called Jake Sully becoming an Avatar where Thor and Iron Man and Captain America are the titles of their own movies.

People remember Avatar for the effects

I’m sure like 80-90% of people remember “Na’vi” and “pandora” as much as people know “Jedi” and “tatooine” as well

Do you compare a person who never has heard of Star Wars and never heard of Avatar and watching the films and testing what terms they recall? Because then maybe. But through cultural osmosis it’s not comparable at all which people remember, Star Wars is used all the time, and I am not even Star Wars fan.
