I think that although A3 was disappointing initially it has become a flawed but pretty good film in my mind.
Once you get over the deaths of Hicks and Newt I think the series would have probably ended the way it did anyway with Ripley dying or sacrificing herself. You can maybe assume that Hicks and Ripley would have died in 3 regardless of what movie came about.
I think a retcon or an alternative storyline just seems a bit silly and will muddle things even more than bringing Ripley back in Resurrection already did. I'd love to see Michael Biehn in another great role/movie and it pained me as a kid how he was rubbed out of A3 but bringing him back would just seem silly now.....how did they do it in Colonial Marines btw?
The whole idea of A3 is crap. Hicks being dead is the last problem of the movie. One of the most high security prisons in the universe - yet, not a single weapon on it - what the f**k. If it was some colony or something like that, a place with normal people, yeah it may lack weapons, but a prison without weapons? Yeah.. no.
Personally I would love to see Alien 3 set in some space station ala Omega from Mass Effect. With mercs, bandits, and other scum, security forces, civilians. Just imagine how much xenos they can get in that movie and what massacre they can represent. Epic last stand and battle scenes. Also Hicks and Newt would be alive. I don't mind Newt being the sole survivor in the end of the movie though. I can imagine a shuttle with Newt on board and the station blowing up behind it.
But Alien 3 was just talking 99% of the movie, CGI xeno (wtf bro) and overall the xeno was not that frightening like in the first movie. What I mean with this is that even one xeno can be scary but they couldn't pull that off again in A3.
