THE Alien Prequel?

Good god has everyone vanished? There's tumbleweeds rolling past my screen. @BigDave; Prometheus was a story about the SJ's kind, the engineers and that's great! But I want to know HIS (the SJ's) story! I think that that's one of the main reasons a lot of ALIEN fans were disappointed with Prometheus. :)

The Prometheus art book also states that Ridley used Zecharia Sitchins 12 Planet idea too. I think it was a happy coincidence that the giant beings from Sumerian stories go with the Space Jockey storyline in Prometheus. The cuneiform alien writing further seals that idea. The irony of Stargate is that its borrowed from Z. Sitchins own theories and the Egyptian myths were the main theme of the movie instead.

Oh I get what your trying to say, its THE SJ in the chair. Like his own origins and how he got there and why he died in such a way.

Anunnaki- yep. You're not going to like this, but I maintain it was part of an intergalactic double cross perpetrated by the Engineers upon their masters... The Space Jockeys. D:

I know a lot of people would have liked to had seen that SJ story but by that what kind of story would that be? If it was explored, we would just find out the SJ was like the Engineers a Humanoid in a Space Suit but they would have to maybe explain the height difference and taking into account he grew out of his chair, which could happen when the SJ suits die... they would still need to explain some difference as surely when he was living he would still had to have been 12ft. So we would see some Humanoid, like a Engineer maybe see him given orders, find out where he set off from and where he was going too and maybe we see how the Eggs got loaded onto the Derelict. Then we see him suit up in a Pilot Chair sequence. Then we are shown the exact moment of when and how he got infected with a Face Huger, and then after that we would see him panic and know he is infected and then see him have to set a course to a baron world to Quarantine the Deadly Cargo and send a SOS to Warn his other kind that the Cargo is compromised. We then see him head to LV 426 and i recon as he enters the moons atmosphere he then gets the convulsions as he is about to be Chest Busted now this would occur either during the landing or just as he is about to set down the Derelict. But would this be worth a whole movie? and Ridley has said what happened and its pretty much as above, and even in Alien we had enough clues to suggest the above. Thats why i dont think we would see the SJ and Derelict from Alien before its ill fated mission.... Ridley could show us who the Space Jockeys are which he has done, but i feel he would have to show us that some Engineers or other Humanoid creations are similar but taller i.e 12-15ft They could show us how they came into contact with the Eggs.... i.e 1) Was they created from scratch? 2) Was they created from the Goo and Urns? 3) Was they the result of experiments on other Organism? 4) Was they found on another World and used or experimented on? 5) Or is there some Being/Creature/Biological Machine that made them? I think one of those five has to be the explanation and we will find out, and if so it may be a bit vague and not spoon fed.

@BigDave; The most frustrating thing about all this is the fact that, even if all the mysteries from Prometheus are addressed in the sequel, my feeling is that we will all still be on this site in 10 years time, debating and pondering over the SJ and cargo of eggs from ALIEN. I'm just really sceptical that Ridley will address it.
