and I cant help but think that i've seen those symbols somewhere before, then i came across this,

Its hard to deny the resemblance between the symbols on the giant head and those used by the Yautja (predators).

@ Frantz, Ridley Scott has praised James Cameron's sequel Aliens, and James Cameron has stated that he enjoyed AVP, and that he liked the way in which it pre-empted the first two Alien films.
Also take into account that the assumed benign nature of the Space Jockey's is not that dis-similar to that of the Predators shown in AVP. In fact, it is safe to say that this "ancient astronaut" theory is not a new feature to the franchise as a whole.

I think the link between Prometheus and Alien is going to be more obvious than they've stated from the leaked trailer we all saw - we will see the derelict crash, and possibly the Alien born from the Space Jockey.
That said Prometheus will for the most part go its own route using the Space Jockey as a stepping stone to another franchise set within the same universe.

I agree with the fact that Ridley will not link Prometheus to the other Aliens, Predators or AVP's, but at the same time he will not debunk any established links.
On paper, the franchise and the ideas within do work, on film however there are only 3 and a half decent films (Alien, Aliens, Predator and parts of AVP), the rest just fail to capture the ideas within their scripts.

@ EP - I think your wish list is almost a given...
Space Jockeys, Yes.
Androids, 1 definitely, 2 possibly.
The Company, yes but just the Yutani Corporation.
New Xeno, most likely - I suspect we will see the derelict from Alien crash, and as the crew of the Prometheus approach it the Alien born from the Space Jockey will make its presence known.
