I'm pretty okay with higher Queens and Praetorians, though.
Does anyone know if SM ever approved/ratified the higher Queens and Praetorians? In other words, are they considered canonical?
You could message SM and ask him.

Too bad this message board doesn't support "mentions" so we can bat signal SM whenever we need him to make a definitive ruling in a thread.
@SM
I haven't seen that feature on many boards, to be honest.
I'm not so sure about "definitive rulings", though. An opinion, sure.

The albino drones always seemed like a waste of a host to me.
For some reason in my head I always pictured the albino drones as being akin to those dog-sized red-and-black beetles from 'Starship Troopers' that you see carrying around the Brain Bug, to the point that they didn't even look like xenomorphs in the conventional sense. NECA's upcoming action figure really caught me off guard because it's not what I pictured in my head at all.
QuoteAlso, I'm a bit wary with what Fox considers canon though, didn't they consider Aliens: Colonial Marines as canon at one point?
They did, and they considered the old EU to be canon (and apparently still consider parts of it to be canon). If you don't like what FOX considers canon, just do what everyone does and decide for yourself.
QuoteIf I remember correctly, Xenomrph had the honour of working with SM on a project in the past.
We worked on an EU timeline over a decade ago.
QuotePerhaps they're both hard at work collaborating on the Grand Unification Project to merge all the Alien EU seamlessly with the canon and don't have time for our silliness.
I'd be fine with working with SM again, but I doubt the feeling is mutual.
I also doubt he'd support a Grand Unification Project anyway, he's been pretty against it in the past. I've been championing that idea for years (and making it work through "fuzzy continuity").
QuoteI am not a fan of this, or the predalien or indeed other variations of the Xeno based on the host
How do you feel about 'Alien3'?
