Ok this sounds strange but just thinking as evidently there is nothing else to do until it comes out. What if the Jockeys worship us. They leave some kind of map for us on earth, we find it as they want us to come to them like gods and be their saviors. We get there and we are somewhat welcomed eventually but cautiously. But what we didn't know is that they are an extremely advanced peaceful civilization who are becoming extinct. Like other posts suggested, maybe they created us to help them breed and carry on and in return for that sacrifice they worship us like gods as they see us a beautiful pure creatures ironically. Hence the Giant Head, like a shrine to us and the urns an offering. As for the reason we assume what is inside the urns to be bad, i don't know ... maybe they were contaminated, maybe they need time to mature and be ready.... really i cant figure that one out fully, maybe they are weapons but not intended for us. But to cap it all off, They worship us but they are quite nomadic in nature as something they have created in the past is hunting them down and we get caught in the middle when we arrive. By trying to help them we only make things worse and then someone decides to steal an urn and screw up everything for everyone just for some bucks. At some point the jockeys will turn against us and decide that the children they created must be exterminated as there was obviously a mistake. Maybe that is where the urns come into it, as a kind of back up plan for them...... I don't know where i am going with this but just some random thinking that is very much open to other people putting in their thoughts. I am not coming up with a plot say, just some ideas. I really think the blue guy might be a jockey but there is something else in this movie, something that must have killed some jockeys before we got there judging by the bodies.... oh God, or Gods lol i cant wait.

I am correcting you because there is a significant difference between saying I like something and I like an idea. Personally if the movie was nice SJs and evil humans it would be preachy (like Avatar). However, the IDEA is cool because it forces us to think in different ways. 1. Yes it does, but no proof it was caused by the SJs. 2. Again mutant guy doesn't look friendly, but we don't know if the crew did that to him. Remember in Alien Ash was protecting the Alien. What if one of the androids was doing something similar here. 3. Who said we were forcing it to crash? We see 2 ships crashing into eachother, but we do not know the motive. What if the mercenaries or rogue android took control of the derelict and that's why? 4. Again where's the evidence the SJs put them there? We know in Alien at least on SJ was a victim of a chestburster. Its quite possible that whatever put all those eggs in the ship came from that SJ. 5. That was my point. There is not mention of SJ mercenaries so they must be human. I never heard of mercenaries doing humanitarian work so I must assume they do bad things. Which leads me to the main point of POSSIBLY the humans are evil and the SJs are not. It's just a theory.

@Snorkelbottom, I'd suggest that #3 depends on the motive of who crashes the ship. And #4 is a bloody good point. But how do the eggs even survive the crash? Then there's the premise of the sequel. It's going to be a very short trip sending humans to a planet full of hostiles...

@ Rakkasan... So let me get this straight, we travel god knows how far to a distant planet to learn the truth of our origins. We get there and meet a nice race of elephant/blue men that extend us every courtesy. In return we force one of our own crew to become inflated like a whoopee cushion, turn another of our crew into a mutant, infect our nice aliens with our own developed secret weapon the facehugger, and in the process kill most of our own crew. Yeah Okay. BTW mercenaries are not necessarily bad, they are hired guns - they do what they are paid to do. Which can be killing, but can also be protection. Have you not seen Man On Fire.

Glad to read some new theories, and I agree we havn't gotten enough info to be sure of much yet. Ridley did say he wanted to explore the story of the space Jockey. He titled the movie Prometheus, which is the name of the Greek God who tried to help mankind. So, I'm inclined to think the jockey is a good guy - otherwise he might have named the movie after another Greek god, "Polyphemus, the terrible Cyclops who imprisons men and eats them alive."

I subscribe to the school of thought that a human dons the SJ suit and melds into the cockpit in order to disengage the Derelict from auto-pilot and crash it, thereby stopping it from reaching Earth, before succumbing to a chestburster. How we get to this point, I've yet to formulate myself. But the SJ suit and human being do not fit together!, I hear you proclaim. However, perhaps the suit is like a magic glove: one-size fits all. In otherwords, the suit grows to fit around the occupant. Why not?

@ Snorkelbottom, Your obvious Disney-esque analogy aside I would say yes. Would you not agree that Weyland plays a key role in this movie (the company not the person)? We see the logo everywhere. Well we know in Alien they went there on company orders, Ash was working for the company to protect it. Although not canan, but in the Dean Foster book, Dallas confronts Ash after Kane's death and accuses him of knowing the facehugger left something in his body. You see it in the MRI/Xray. To which Ash responds that yes he knew that something was left in Kane, but not what it would do. In Aliens, Burke who worked for the company sent them to the derelict and didn't even warn them. Alien3 the company did everything they could to get a hold of Ripley or the specimen, killing one of the prisoners that got in the way. Alien Resurrection used Ripley DNA and made numerous clones without regard for human life, and paid MERCENARIES to highjack a civilian transport to use as hosts. Even in AVP Charles Bishop had to stake his claim at all costs, even his health. All I am saying is there is plenty of examples in the other movies where humans are portrayed as the real monsters "at least you don't see them fucking eachother over for a percentage". As for Man on Fire, do the ends justify the means? Yes he was looking for the girl, but putting a timed explosive up a mans ass seems a little extreme to me.

I'm sorry I dont buy it. IMO the Jockeys are neither good nor evil, their indifferent, selfish, arrogant, vain etc. A species that supposedly created life on earth or helped mankinds development is what we've been told. Gods, in biomechanical elephant suits. Who gave them right to do such things, why do they do such things, why create us and then leave instructions on where to find them, what do they want, what is their agenda. Evil belies evil, and I think we can all agree the Alien is evil. Yeah I agree the humans will be shown in a bad light, as usual, but Space Jockeys are far, far, far away from being nice.
