If we accept Covenant, we have to disregard....well, just about everything really, as none of it can fit anymore.

I fail to see how anything is negated at this point.

That includes the first Alien film, because if that indeed was the first Xenomorph ever in Covenant, what's up with that Engineer ship with a fossilized Engineer who died from a Chestburster? I don't think Covenant really discounts anything, David created those Xenomorphs yes but he wasn't the creator of the species, the Engineers still created them despite what Scott says. David simply came to the same conclusion that they did that through some experimentation that the black goo can eventually create the Xenomorphs. At least that's how I rework it. Although I'm still wondering how David was able to get the Xenomorph eggs out of experimenting with insects.

Maybe that's how the Engineers also got their Xenomorph eggs. Those

Well to be fair those are some pretty big bug eggs that those smaller bugs laid.

Wrong.

Considering everything pre-Out of the Shadows was already considered non-canon by Fox, the only things the new film potentially affects are the books Out of the Shadows and Sea of Sorrows, as they both deal with Aliens on LV-178. The other recent EU stories either deal with Aliens from LV-426 - which have to be there because that's where the original films pick them up from - or are set so far in the future it doesn't really matter if David first made the Alien.

Also the Rage Wars.
