"Ridley has gone in a different direction. Maybe Ripley has done her bit. She deserves a rest."
This genuinely sounds like she's simply isn't a fan of the direction the prequels went in. I suspect she's more of a fan of the Alien's origins being more cosmic in scale. Can't say that I really blame her.

Can we retcon A:R?
If you're going to do that, then you might as well do the same with the third film, too. That way, we don't have to deal with the magical teleporting egg, can still have any adult become a Queen, etcetera.
Either stand on the shoulders of both or neither.

Could just as easily be that Ripley would be there in spirit and not a physical player in the story. Similar to Alien Isolation. She voices the opening, the flight log, and then her voice is sampled for the end credits.
I'd love a connection like that. I'd honestly really like them to do something like Alien Isolation.
If that were the case, she wouldn't have been the primary one approached and given the entire treatment. They could have simply asked her after the fact or just hired the services of a great impersonator.
Plus, given his involvement in the series, he's probably very aware she would be a financial draw for ticket sales, if headlining the project.
