Space jockeys

[delstuart]

Sorry to be a bit thick but can someone enlighten me as to what the space jockeys are?

[SM]

The big skeleton dude in the chair on the Derelict spaceship in the first Alien film.

Th elephant looking dudes from aliens book one?

Well yes, but that's not what it's originally from, of course.

[Kriszilla]

They only look like elephants because the people who made those books were retarded.

For the thousandth time:

It's upposed to be a breathing tube of some kind! A trunk would not fossilise!

But do they listen? Nooo...

Space Jockeys were destroyed by their own evil experimentations, the mutations were the ones who overan the Space Jockeys and forced them to escape little did they know that the Predator were also after their cargo... the eggs in stasis.. predator knew very well what was occuring on the surface of the Space Jockey home planet as the xenomorphs ran wild killing everything in sight. They saw the opportunity to take the specimen and use it on earth thousands of years ago... the space jockeys sent their rescue message from LV-426 10,000 years ago the Predators arrived , Space Jockeys died, and Aliens escaped...

nice story, but predators should never be mixed with the space jockey. if anyone should ever touch them, it would be in an ALIEN movie. not a crossover.

True, but thanks for the story.  Cleared up some things.

theres been rumors about space jockey in avp 3 not saying that is the best idea ,but its been rumored so a crossover may be the only way to ever explain the space jockeys ...i would only be happy with this if ridley scott, or cameron... giger had some involvment with the production...

It would fossilise if it were made out of bone.

And we knew for sure if the thing even was fossilised.

[PredClanLeadrr85]

they looked fossiziled

[agent_unawares]

they looked fossiziled

They looked more mummified than fossilized. It wouldn't really make sense for them to be fossilized, since that would require having all the original material replaced with inorganic compounds. The Space Jockey ship would almost definitely have had to be flooded and/or buried in mud/silt/etc at some point for that to happen.

[Commander Aun]

Its "trunk" or whatever could be biomechanical. I mean, its alien. Must it be like animals or people on earth? Why can't it be different? Plus, this franchise hasnt exactly prided it self on realism.

[PredClanLeadrr85]

there ship sat there for like 10,000 years or more right

?
