i have a theory

Interesting. . . Check out the discussion I just posted! :)

I actually think the Space Jockeys are the lackeys for something else entirely. Something we haven't seen yet. Why let out pictures of your main protagonists 6 months before release? Scott knoew people would see that guy in the chair room, knew we'd see the head on the examination table, knew we'd see the suits behind Noomi..... Misdirection and red herrings I think. There'll be something bigger and nastier than the Xenos and SJ's combined.

Cypher, agreed. I think 'Engineers' and 'Space Jockeys' are synonyms. I also don't think you'd nickname a species 'Engineers' if they didn't work for someone/thing. Maybe you could...meh... But I agree with Cypher that they're lackeys.. Badass lackey's though. And if they're the lackeys and they're badass how baddass are their bosses going to be? :)

What if the jockeys are like scientists. And they are transporting a kind of weapon or biological findings only to be exposed or stolen and used against them. I'm thinking the blue being either to steal this (as promithius stole to give to man) and human kind gets caught in the middle to end up creating the xeno's?

I like the way you put that Cypher. It's a rather interesting way of looking at what we've seen so far.

that's like saying maybe dogs and cats are the same species, but the cats are the workers and dogs are drones. OBVIOUS thematic and biological differences aside, this is just another one of those harebrained "know it all" theories. ] nothing special. moving along...

no its like saying bees are drones and wasps are soldiers..dogs and cats are entirely different species.. we dont know what the jockeys look like undernieth their suits..we dont know that they arent related to the xenomorphs...what if the jockeys bred the aliens for war and attack while they studied and researched

interesting debate. The way we saw all that green goo again killing people via there heads inside their space helmets, it makes me think that in the goo form, it is already part living creature, whatever it is, perhaps the Jockeys in their true original form, or the Xenos themselves, who knows, but either way, whatever it is, wherever the heck it comes from, it seems alive to me already inside the helmets!

I have a gut feeling this movie may be more simpler...I feel this figurehead in the poster and in the urn chamber is a representation of the SJ itself. Coupled with the image of the flightchamber where you see a similar bald figure to the side. I think the plot will boil down to the SJ engineers as a race looking like us that seeded the Earth (hence the beginning of time sequence"...the suits will be nothing more than suits. Ridley Scott's reference to Wanting to show how everything got started seems to be metephorical for the beginning of the human race. The Xenos in alien and its progeny are a byproduct of this engineer/SJ race .....Just a thought

also maybe the aliens were bred as a way to wipe humans away because we were some sort of mistake...better yet Humans themselves are the offspring or some type of biological decendents ot the SJ race

i reckon that david icke bloke was right all along lol

I would see the xeno's as like a cleaner of planets...in preperation for seeding of life. Or xeno's were created in error via a mix of the vile of humanoid DNA and dinosours( a raptor perhaps). Thinking of the attributes of the raptor, cunning, intelligent, ruthless and a plain killing machine. I know its a very [i]out there[/i] suggestion with a little sprinkle of crazy for good measure..... :)

It's not Klatuu, In fact it's been suggested by Ridley himself I believe that this is just what they are , the Terra forming Tool of some "other race" {hint hint nudge nudge bob's your uncle nod's as good as a wink, know what i mean nudge nudge}

I would love to get my hands on one of the coming soon posters. Shaping up to a classic....I just hope I can keep my expectations at a sane level. At least the master is at the helm....and its being shot in the U.K. The distance factor from Hollywood helps to minimise interference from bean counters and popcorn marketers.

Just down the road from me is an art shop that deals in Memorabilia and photography amongst other things. I was browsing in the shop window and my eyes lit up, There before my eyes was an original gold framed blade runner poster from the cinema theatre . They are asking £600 pounds for it $934 i really really want it but not that bad lol. The frame is just a gold effect lol
