If that's the case, why would the queen need to grow an egg sac at all? It seems inefficient. Why not just sprinkle a few globules here and there and be done with it?
We already know that a regular drone alien can make eggs without a queen but it needs hosts for the egg. The Queen maybe can just produce eggs more efficiently, but needs to build a giant ovipositor rendering it immobile and otherwise useless. I don't think it's an egg sac, though, as an egg sac is basically used to hold dozens of eggs (like a spider does) and protect them from damage.
Do we really know that? I thought the original Alien film was the official one, not the one with egg-morphing..
Well the Egg on the Sulaco was on both Versions of Alien 3. And i'm sure the Assembly cut was one of the earlier cuts made before the Theatrical cut. (Hense i consider the Assembly cut to be the films canon version) Now Considering the Queen Facehugger and the Egg on the Sulaco. Maybe The Queen can Secrete material needed for a bare minimum of 1 egg?
And i also include the Directors cut of alien wit the Egg Morphing to be the canonical version so i have to take that into account with my theory. But The Queen didn't kill anybody to make an egg up? Unless there was a Drone on board the Sulaco?
Or maybe we're just looking at it wrong.. The Scuttling sound at the end of Aliens, right after they have gone into Cryo-sleep post credit. Which means there's already something moving around on the ship (Which is a scary idea lol) which is Probably a Facehugger? So again let's just forget about the Egg being there which is a plot-hole in itself. And go with another theory.
So lets go with another theory.. Lets just throw the egg out completely. And assume there isn't an egg (A mistake on the film makers part) And there's only the Queen Facehugger? (Hense the Scuttling) which got dropped off by the Queen herself at some point and waited in hiding until the moment to Face hug? That makes more sense.
To be honest, Regarding the Egg in the opening on Alien 3. They f**ked up simple as. It's a Glaring plot-hole one which has no explanation at all. The Alien Life-cycle up to that point doesn't Explain the egg being there. There's no realistic Time-slot or placement for it. None of the Crew could have placed it, neither could an Alien. IT was just there for the sake of being there.
Literally the only explanation for it is that the Queen Carried it with her on her back or something and then placed it down while she was hiding.
We just need to take the Egg out of the Equation here and things start to make more sense.
