Ok, just throwing this out there. If the Space Jockeys created life on Earth, then there's nothing against the idea of them creating life on other worlds in the same manner, and see what evolution brings from their DNA. Perhaps this could be a thread in the follow up??
Been a bit since I watched this - so do please correct me if I'm wrong.
But, aren't the Space Jockeys and the Engineers different races? Or are the Space Jockeys an offshoot (or ally?) of the Engineers?
Or, am I missing the connexion entirely? As I said, it's been a bit...
The Space Jockey is an Engineer. He just has his biomechanical helmet on and the chair has wrapped around him.

That Space Jockey from ALIEN was no gawddang suit!
Although I also always considered the Space Jockey in ALIEN to be a fossilized skeleton of a massive, bizzare alien race, I'm willing to roll with the Engineer concept and see where it leads.
Ah - okeh.
(as I want to recall from the original ALIEN, the Space Jockeys looked to be something like 18-20 feet tall, if upright...)
