Keeping Canon While Expanding Canon...

Have it where Ripley and Co.'s and ship: Sulaco are intercepted 5 months-or-so into he flight aay fro LV 426 and Alien 3/Alien: Ressurection narratives are merely 'The Company' effecting mind control upon Ripley til she is messed up quite a bit as a result. Hicks, Newt and Bishop were all intercepted by The Company as well, having there own dstinies effected and even there memories too. We slightly enter Original Total Recall territory where-events of Alien 3 and Ressurection are treated like memory lapses for Ripley, was she really there taking part in those events or was she? With that set up and potentially resolved both Alien 3 and Ressurection can be 'stepped over' with dignified acknowledgement while at the same time kept in 'canon' so Ripley and Co. from Aliens can pick-up and carry on perhaps all having lived there 30+ lives as other people, memories wiped or cryo- stasis inturuption scarring accounting for the aging effect or a clever combination of them all. Slowly, all our potentially 'lost' heros come together and involved in some new Alien conflict. And perhaps a few films could me made as a result, not just one to finish Ripleys story but maybe it is suitable to send off Ripley in a more satisfactory way than was done before...

In my mind its simple. Alien three and R are both cryo dreams "or nightmare" caused by an error in the cry sleep computer system. The cryo units malfunction causing Ripley, Hicks and Newt to age physically whilst remaining asleep. The Sulaco drifts off course and for twenty years She is stuck orbitting LV223 which is located not far from LV426. An error (it seems) has caused the central computer to find a near by planet and remain on autopilot for safety reasons (or has it????). A beacon has been sounding off over the twenty years but has gone unnoticed.
Finally after twenty years, a ship from a rival company picks up the becon and investigates. Upon awakenning the hapless three, the strange and horrific story continues as Ripley finds Bishops cryotube empty and no sign of the artifial friend.

Keep it simple.

Keep it creepy.

Dont try to over explain.

True fans will love it!
