This is one reason I don't get the constant calls from people that "Well of course Han should have died in ROTJ, the film would've been so much better". Yes because shocking major character deaths in Alien3, X-Men: The Last Stand, ST7 & ST10 were so popular with the fans and those films are so well respected for it.
However, for the record 'Alien3' is awesome and if you want Newt and Hicks to be still alive then read this excellent book...
...although they did have to change the names to Billie and Wilks (The comic it's based on still has the proper names though).
I didn't know that existed,thanks.
That is the one thing no Alien movie has done that I am still waiting for. I want to see the Aliens on earth.
