I keep saying this over and over, hoping that, someday, somebody will actually GET this. The shot in arm the Alien series needs is an origin story, something they should have done a long time ago. Where did the Aliens come from? Where did the Space Jockey come from? Are they from the same planet? Did the Space Jockey harvest the Alien? You don't need Ripley, or any of the characters we know, to tell an origin story. I fear we'll never get this story, however, because every movie that has come out since Aliens has pretty much hurt, not helped, the franchise, in my opinion.
