the dust storm in the trailers

I just don't think it is believable or possible for there to be as many as two reasons, that is far too many and crazy - even for Science Fiction.

yer i surpose they were the main ones i mean for the film

Dust storms are quite possible in the regions where there are deserts. So i am not surprised about them either way.

Could be everything old is new again. Dust storms were prominent in the original Dan O'Bannon Alien script.

I dont think is natural ...it arrive unexpected and exactly from the direction of the Temple ( exactly ) ... so there must be a reason .

Takka, your input here is as profound and enlightening as always. Well done. As boring as it may seem, it could just be weather. We can see in the landing shots that the planetoid has an active atmosphere. I wouldn't look too deep for meaning here: it may just be bad luck. As history often shows, bad luck is very often the only difference between a crisis and an all-out disaster. The storm could be just that, and I wouldn't fault Ridley for it at all. Shit happens in real life.
