PLOT
Its the year 2014 and Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Baby Groot are famous as the Guardians of the Galaxy. Aisha, protagonist of the sovereign race, has the Guardians secure important batteries from a monster in return for Gamora's estranged sister Nebula, who was caught trying to steal the batteries. The sovereign race attacks the Guardian's ships with a fleet of drones after Rocket steals some batteries for himself. A strange figure later destroys the drones, which inevitably coerces the Guardians to crash land on the nearest planet. The figure reveals himself as Quill's father, Ego, who invites Quill, followed by Gamora and Drax, to his home, while Rocket and Groot remain behind to repair the ship and guard Nebula.
Elsewhere, Outlaws Yondu Udonta and his team, who have been exiled from the greater ravager community for the crime of child trafficking, are enlisted by Aisha to recapture the Guardians. They capture Rocket, but when Yondu is unwilling to turn over Quill, he is betrayed by his lieutenant Taserface, who leads a mutiny in tandem with Nebula. Taserface locks up Rocket and Yondu aboard Yondu's ship and kills his loyalists while Nebula leaves to seek and kill Gamora, whom she blames for all the torture brought upon her by their father, Thanos. While imprisoned, Rocket and Yondu connect closely. Groot and Kraglin,Yondu's loyalist, frees Rocket and Yondu and they all destroy the ship and its crew as they escape, although Taserface has tipped off the sovereign fleet.
Ego explains that he is one of the god-like Celestials, and exists as the planet on which they are
standing. He projected a human guise to travel the universe and interact with other species, eventually meeting and falling in love with Quill's mother Meredith. Ego paid Yondu to collect the young Quill after Meredith's death, but the boy was never delivered and Ego had been searching for his son ever since. He teaches Quill to manipulate their Celestial power. Nebula arrives at Ego's planet and tries to kill Gamora, but fails and the pair reach an uneasy alliance when they discover caverns filled with massive piles of skeletal remains. Ego reveals to Quill that in his travels, he planted seedlings upon thousands of worlds which can terraform them into new extensions of himself, but they can only be activated by the combined power of two celestials. To that end, he impregnated countless women and hired Yondu to collect the children; they all proved incapable of manifesting the Celestial power, so Ego killed them, until he found Quill. Ego uses Quill to activate the seedlings, which begin to consume numerous worlds. Quill is hypnotized into helping Ego, but violently fights back after Ego reveals that he deliberately caused Meredith's death as his love for her distracted him from his purpose.
As Rocket, Yondu, Groot and Kraglin arrive, Ego's pet, Mantis, who has become close to Drax , warns him, Gamora and Nebula of Ego's plan. The reunited Guardians reach the core of the planet, where Ego's brain is housed, and fight the sovereign's arriving drones. Rocket makes a bomb out of the stolen batteries that Groot plants on Ego's brain, while Quill battles Ego with his newfound Celestial powers to allow the other Guardians to escape. The bomb explodes, killing Ego and causing the planet to disintegrate. Yondu sacrifices himself to save Quill, who comes to realize that Yondu did not deliver him to Ego in order to spare him from the fate of Ego's other progeny, and that Yondu was Quill's true dad. Nebula still chooses to set out and try to kill Thanos. The Guardians hold a funeral for Yondu, which is attended by dozens of Ravager ships, acknowledging Yondu's sacrifice and accepting him again as a Ravager.
In a series of mid- and post-credit scenes, Kraglin takes up Yondu's telekinetic arrow and control fin; Ravager leader Stakar Ogord, inspired by Yondu's sacrifice, reunites with his ex-teammates; Groot starts regrowing back to normal size, displaying typical teenage actions in the process; Aisha creates a new artificial being with whom she plans to destroy the Guardians, naming him Adam; and an astronaut discusses several experiences on Earth with a group of uninterested watchers.
