I strongly suspect his "bigger than Star Wars" grand scheme is to merge ALIEN and Blade Runner into the same universe/franchise.
Highly unlikely. He's letting someone else direct Blade Runner! Ridley doesn't share!

im ashamed to say i will probably watch this because i am starved for any kind of science fiction in the theatre.
Just when I though Ridley could'nt go any lower, absolutely horrible Movie, what a waste! :unsure
Haha, you guys are really priming my expectations. Going (reluctantly) to see it tomorrow.
Dear God, Man! Haven't you anything more important to do like: watch paint dry, get a prostate exam, a vasectomy, perhaps a root canal?
You have my sympathy.
Lol
Either way I'll be sure to go in with paper bags at the ready. I might bring my Pulse Rifle.
Bring a pillow I almost fell asleep a couple of times
There was a point where I was actually contemplating leaving and seeing if I could have my ticket swapped to just go see GOTG again. Like a bout with stomach flu, I rode it through to it's bitter, explosive end.
I think you're missing Ridley's point.
He has said in multiple recent interviews that he realises the xeno isn't really scary anymore...we've all been so over exposed to it.
His thought was to give us something new to be frightened of....namely David.
I personally liked that this installment wasn't focused so much on the xenos--though they were there--but more on David and his maniacal drive to perfect his creation. The way he is willing to sacrifice 2000 innocent souls in order to advance his pet project is truly terrifying to me.
