Hopefully is more like
Mando's show 😬

Yeah, I was pointing it out few pages ago. It's great possibility to combine and sort out all prequels in some manner. They already kinda did similar thing with The Mandalorian.
I agree. There is a retcon (maybe two) on
Boba Fett, not to mention all the legends stuff that are canon now thanks to the show.
Anyway, I don't really like the "
set on Earth" concept. It is not only because of the bad taste that
Requiem left me. Is that when I think of
Alien, I want to feel it as a distant threat that is in the dark and far corners of the universe, some kind of
Great Filter, in the context of the
Fermi paradox. Before the prequels, I thought the Alien was the great filter for the
Space Jockeys, as in cosmic horror. But hey, there we have
The Call of Cthulhu,
At the Mountains of Madness,
The Nameless City or
Who Goes There?; all good examples of Eldritch
Horror set on
Earth.
Anyway, I'd rather have something located on
Mars, one of
Jupiter's moons, or even our
moon. A futuristic version of the
international space station wouldn't be bad either.
Also, Aliens on Earth in a near future make Ripley's tantrum at Gateway Station kinda funny
But yeah, we still don't know anything about the show. And even more importantly, it all depends on good writing and good execution. In addition, TV series offer interesting possibilities in relation to character development and worldbuilding in general.
