In Alien's it is noted that Ripley had a daughter who died whilst Ripley was in cryo-sleep at the age of 60 or 70 something. I was just wondering could Ripley be Shaws Grandmother. IM not too sure on timeline of things whether this is possible??And she herself might've had something to do with the corporation??? I Feel sorry for Ripley in the Alien movies,except for Alien's * where she goes out of her way to take the fight to the xeno's, One and only time the Xeno's were being hunted...or is it? ¿?¿

I think it was her niece that was about 60 or 70. Ripley was very young and since it was about 2122 AD she probably hadnt taken her first steps yet. For me 50 years gone by would suck because of your family and friends could either be old or dead and thats scary for me.

The Anunnaki were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, mighty men of high reno

Isn't Ripley just a baby when Shaw adventures?

@Anunnaki50; It was Ripley's daughter, she was 10 when Ripley left on the fated Nostromo mission and since she had been in stasis her daughter was physically older than her. In the extras in Aliens we see Burke tell Ripley her daughter had passed away at age 66 from a rare form of cancer. Here is the scene: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPItoMfPHLQ]Aliens (director's cut); Ripley's Daughter Scene.[/url] @DenzelTH; Shaw and Ripley have no relation to one another.

Honestly I could have sworn that it was her niece or little sister. I always though it was a niece or something. Sorry about that DenzelH I tried to find it earlier online but didnt have any success. :)

Svanya, Shaw and Ripley have no relation, as yet, that we know of - franchise-wise that is. Who knows what could be advanced within the writing and furthering of the story in potential future films/sequels, etc. It may appear like a cop-out to make them related or relateable in some ways but on the other hand some ingenious method could be introduced that somehow places Shaw in cryo-stasis as Ripley was that slows her metabolism down whilst everyone else around that she may have known ages and it places her in a prime placing of events where somehow she can now have children as a direct result of her nasty encounter and exposure to the black liquid and that would account for why both hers and Ripleys timelines can be brought into close proximity so as to be related in some way even Ripley somehow becoming a direct decendant of Shaw... who knows??? It's no coincidence that the producers of Prometheus have made the Shaw character to look a strikingly similar incarnation of Ripley. It could be innocent and simply for asthetic value to recapture the Alien "feel" or Ridley and co could have made things that way and just-so as insurance for a potential set-up to explore later-on in future films. Thoughts on this?
