Space Jockey Was Never Fossilized

I've started this as a thread to see if anyone else see's what I see. In Alien our assumption and Dallas' was that the Space Jockey in the Derelict was fossilized and had been there a long, long time... [img]http://images.wikia.com/aliens/images/2/26/SpaceJockey.jpg[/img] For 30 years we have held to this assumption, believing the Space Jockey was a flesh and blood being when he was alive, kinda like this (best picture I could get to illustrate my point)... [img]http://images.wikia.com/avp/images/d/d1/Mala'kak.jpg[/img] Then recently Ridley Scott changed the gameplan and announced that what we saw in Alien wasn't the Space Jockey, it was its suit. Which we see examples of in this (taken from the newest image)... [img]http://www.prometheusmovienews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/space_jockey_background_crop.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/28869/Prometheus_Image_Shows_Two_Space_Jockey_Suits_The_Background_1326727467.jpg[/img] Looking at these suits/statues and comparing them to the image from Alien and Ridleys statement reveals that the Space Jockey wasn't fossilized in Alien, it was just a faded exo-skeletal bio-mechanical suit. Yes that means Dallas was wrong and after all these years (33) we were wrong. Fossil - [i]n[/i] petrified (skeletal) remains of plants and animals [img]http://www.staff.olympia.org/external/OHSLibrary/dino1.gif[/img] The Space Jockey is not and never was a fossil, just a faded exo-skeletal suit. To clarify here is a quote from forum member Starbeast... [quote]It's a suit that looks fossilised; much like that Halloween skeleton suit, which looks like a skeleton, but isn't a skeleton... it's a suit. This wasn't the thinking for the last thirty years but is now because Ridley has said it - not Jeunet, Anderson or the frigging brothers Strausse - but by God himself. God's law my brothers, written in stone.[/quote] Am I the only one who sees this.
