[img]http://geektyrant.com/storage/2011-post-images/new-prometheus-trailer-space-jockey.jpg[/img] There are many, many discussions centred around these mysterious beings and so there should be, I believe they are central to the whole plot. Firstly, I have hinted at more than one due to the simple fact there are four sarcophagi, it would be a wasted opportunity to just bring one to the stage. Mr Scott is cementing his reputation as the master of suspense by showing us very little in those recent trailers. We've all seen this quite breathtaking shot of the Jockey which has more than wet our appetites but there is so much more to come. Obviously due to his physical size the blue guy dons the SJ suit in order to "connect" with the "chair" and this is were it gets interesting. I believe the whole "chair" is biomechanical linked to a biomechanical ship. When the SJ connects with the ship we can see how it shrouds him with various bone-like appendages but theres more. In the above shot his arms are way too short compared with the fossilised SJ in alien. I believe he mutates in the chair so his arms fit neatly at the control grips clearly seen in this shot. A further mutation is the trunk-like appendage lengthening and connecting to something through the suit, again like the SJ in Alien. Another point of interest if you look closely in this shot there are some pastal coloured organic orbs protruding from the "screen/gun" indicating once again that the whole thing is biomechanical. Simply cannot wait for this movie.

I think in these trailers we're seeing a few place holders for visual effects. So maybe the small SJ is just a regular actor sitting in as a place holder and/or visual reference for the finished large SJ effect. Same thing with the two different versions of a crew member being thrown, the normal sized actor standing in for the Tall Man creature effect. Maybe whoever cut the trailers was hoping the images were moving by too fast for people to notice. Of course they would have had to forget that it's easy for anyone to freeze any frame of video.

The only problem is when you explain something too much, it takes the mystery away to a degree. I hope they give us some information but keep some mystery.

Space Jockey won't be mysteries anymore after Fox seeks to profit from the success that is Prometheus by making 4 sequels featuring the Jockey.
