Another day, another online encounter with the robots of Transformers: Age Of Extinction. This time around, however, the upcoming film wants you to remember the terrible toll the Transformers take on our planet, and why it might just be better to “Keep Earth Human” at all costs.

That’s the theme of the recently launched site at TransformersAreDangerous.com, which offers up a new video describing the threat humans face from Transformers and a series of fictional newspaper articles published in the wake of the devastating events of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. In the new video, clips from the 2011 film that culminated with a massive battle in Chicago are shown under faux news reports detailing the destruction of the city.  

The video ends with a warning that plays on New York City’s “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign that was adopted by the Department of Homeland Security throughout most U.S. cities after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 

Among the faux newspaper clippings featured on the site are several articles describing widespread anti-Transformer sentiment that developed after the events of Dark Of The Moon, including one snippet of an article about Congress approving the exile of all Transformers from the U.S. 

You can watch the “Keep Earth Human” video below, and you need only wait until June 27 to find out exactly how much the world has changed for the robots in disguise when Transformers: Age Of Extinction hits theaters.

Every Star Wars fan has a favorite movie, and many Star Wars fans also hate at least one of the entries in one of their favorite franchises. That can make the exercise of choosing the perfect Star Wars movie to watch on May the 4th difficult. For all of the love this fan base has shown to the franchise over the years, it's also a fan base that has strong opinions about why one movie or another is worthy of your time.

This May 4, though, I'd recommend watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Almost undoubtedly the most controversial entry in the saga, one that makes some people furious and others jump for joy, The Last Jedi is worthy of your attention, whether you like what it's doing or not. Here are three reasons you should check it out:

From Darth Vader to Emperor Palpatine to Jabba the Hutt, Star Wars has been given us several iconic villains. But for all its many well-known villains, there are still those who have been all but overlooked by general audiences. Such a lackluster reception may be due to limited appearances or questionable story choices regarding their character.

In this massive franchise, there are many characters who should get more recognition from audiences, and these seven prove themselves to be the unsung villains of the Star Wars universe.

It's not hard to see why Lucasfilm gave the green light to the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie. No new characters from the new Disney era are as widely beloved as they are. In a time when so many Star Wars films have been announced and subsequently abandoned, a movie based on The Mandalorian feels like a surefire hit.

And yet, everything else about this film remains a mystery. What's the story? When does it even take place? None of that is known. But I think we can agree that the following five things need to be addressed in the upcoming film.
1. The right epic feel and scope
