I dont know, maybe they eat for pleasure or strength or something, like they dont need to but they can when they get the chance.  the Alien clearly eats people in Alien 3.  not to mention ripley says "It wont kill me, I stood right next to it, I could have been lunch."

Yeah that's what I assumed when i saw it in Alien 3 (i think it's clearly meant to show the alien is eating), because I never thought they Had to eat, but it was more a convienance thing. maybe gives them some added benefit or something.
Though i think it would be better if they didn't eat at all.

Who did it ignore? It didn't attack dillon when he pulled the guy down but that doesn't mean he was eating that guy.

Is that so? Can you say it 100% for sure? No! .. All speculation .. no more .. no less!

Look at the scene in alien 3 where the alien get the first prisoner. The Alien is clearly "doing" smth. with him .. it looks like it is eating him .. When Tim get attacked in the trailer through the window the alien is doing the same stuff.

only they weren't eating there, just mauling. and that was rebellions decisions, and they knew that aliens don't need to eat, they gain energy thanks to increasing level of the agression.

belive me, implementing eating bodies instead of ripping them apart in game engine would be a lot easier, but they did otherwise.

People just need more to bitch about.

Although Greg shouldn't have tried to justify the whole darker colored facehugger by saying it was "a warrior facehugger". Thats a bunch a crap.

she didn't mean that literally, she means you would have been killed. (either that or her character didn't know that they don't actually eat people)

Seeing the aliens eat takes away from their, well, "Alien-ness." It makes them anthropomorphic and relatable to animals on Earth, and helps demystify their aurora of being "truly unknown" from the original movies. One of the things that makes the aliens unique IMO is that they don't kill for food, but because they're programmed to as a species, making them different and somewhat more complex than the average movie monster.

I always thought that alien would eat, they are not machines, alien or not, its natural.
No problem here.

True, but Alien 3 had canon problems all its own, so it's probably not a good place for future filmmakers to look at as a jumping-off point...
