I’d like to thank the anonymous contributor that provided these pictures to the convention at weekend and that has just sent me some of them to put online:
As you can see it looks suspiciously like the Space Jockey chair without the telescope (or whatever it is) device attached. However, the 2nd picture looks like a telescope device.
Are they idiots? What else is it from?
That's the whole POINT of Giger's 'Biomechanic' pics...the fusing of the organic and inorganic to a point where you can't tell where one stops and the other starts.

When I first heard about this story I mentally christened the guy "Space Jockey".
Am I crazy?
p.s its not the original as the design is different... slightly

They were in fact moved within a few hours of posting I believe.... so someone thought they were important !!
IMDB is the equivalent of a nagging wife. If you say black, they say white.
If they are fake, someone deserves a medal. From memory the scale looked real to me. Although there was no reference in the pictures.
The fact they have been removed also suggests they are at least causing a concern.
Thanks mate!
Cheers man your the best!!

the hunt begins.
Only the cool kids like me
The SJs should of invested heavily in the 'Genesis Device'...they could of gotten a 'two-for'!
I'm pretty sure THAT would be a negative...purely on relooking at other picture heavy threads and seeing a barren wasteland...
Interesting idea.
That's what I meant.
Because if I remember from the other set leaks, the chamber with the urns sit's directly below the head, which again looked like where the Jockey ship would sit.
So going on my Penis theory......
One set of eggs to start life.
One set of eggs to destroy it.
The film,however, NEVER showed this aparatus from an angle we could SEE these holes...
Perhaps, Ridley is happy he had an artist that could enlarge his vision between canvas and full-sized sculpture...and it is serendipitous that something Giger added to a model on a sound-stage might have sparked Prometheus.
Ridley Scott (1978)..."I LOVE the Space Jockey...but it's going to be twice as expensive to build this telescope..."
HR Giger..."But you muzt!...Ozerwise Jockey make NO sense!...and iz OBVIUZLY not TELESCOPE!..Iz PLANET INZEMINATOR!!!"
...I'm pretty sure THAT's the way it went down.
Indeed. And that telescope/canon thing has gotta be good for something, rather than just some kind of antennae I imagined all those years ago
Actually yeah I take that back, probably won't be eggs in this movie as discussed some time back, those urns do seem perfect for it... maybe we are onto something and dont even know it!!
There are 207 Guests, 53 Users now. I bet half of those guests are people who actually worked on Prometheus and are just trying to figure out what their movie is about.
Could it be a penis?
Fox, get your act together and start promoting this film and shit like this won't happen. Y'all ain't doin ANYTHING in respects to this film.
As of a minute ago still on Google and PrometheusFilmNews (complete with AvPGalaxy banner!).
Grab ém while you can!!
Its Space Jockey envy
Someone NEEDS to Photoshop a Space Jockey on a Segway, STAT!
Or they could attach and detach themselves from machines, whenever they wanted to.
I'm not sure SJs were organisms created by other organisms. Xenomorphs could be, but SJs, being the advanced race they are, seem to have altered their bodies to their needs.

I'm, sorry...It looks NOTHING like a phallus...
Gah, I don't know what came over me...
(...but it might of been a "gigantic, erect, flayed penis with split glans..." )
I'm convinced it is fused to the chair!
That would be awesome.
I was going through the comments on the previous page and the language is pretty harsh
If an Alien movie doesn't have indirect erotic references, it is not a worthy Alien movie.
I hope Jockeys do not walk or run or move at all.
And that's what i truly love about it
Also it is clearly a space jockey chair without the jockey. Literally all of the sculpture details other than the missing pipes along the base of the gun/phallus and the Jockey itself match either exactly or as small redesigns that no one but people on this board would notice. Unless this thing was home made (which I highly doubt), it is the definite confirmation of a SJ built for the film.
HUH?! Has someone who actually made the film or designed the creature actually come out and said it was a "gigantic, erect, flayed penis"?!
That is insane. Why can you guys not imagine it to be a telescope or a cannon, why does everything have to be turned into something erotic?!
