Corrected entry: Ego's entire plain revolves around finding an offspring powerful enough to help him. After searching for hundreds of years and children, he finally finds Star-Lord, and just when he's about to succeed, he screws it up by telling Peter that he killed Peter's mom.

Corrected entry: Peter Quill uses an old Mattel electronic football game that he has modified to be some sort of tracking/radar device. Where did he get it? When he was abducted, all he has was his Walkman and mix tapes. Not only that, but with access to advanced technology, why would he even need such a device?
Correction: You know, just because Starlord does some crazy stuff to a device to make it do something else than it was originally intended for without it actually making sense does not make it a plot hole. He just made the decision to do that, and it was possible to do it. Its not a mistake at all. He also could have gotten the device from anywhere, he's been around. Some other aliens could have stolen things from Earth and he bought it from them (or stole it).
Or he had it in his backpack at the time when he was abducted, since he did have a backpack.

Corrected entry: Before he dies, Taserface sends the Sovereign the coordinates for Yondu's ship before the bulk of it explodes. But, they then do over 700 jumps to get to Ego's planet. How could the Sovereign possibly track them there?
Correction: They had the coordinates for the ship, so presumably they could lock on and track it or be able to find it with deep-space scans.

Corrected entry: The Sovereign Priestess states that the Guardians were hired to kill the monster at the beginning of the film because they "could not risk the lives of their own", but later, it's shown that they pilot all of their ships remotely, thereby not risking any of their own lives.
Correction: The plan to kill the Abilisk did not involve using ships. It involved people on the ground fighting it. This would have put their people at risk.

Correction: He only needs Star-Lord's inherited power for his plan to succeed. Star-Lord doesn't have to be a willing participant. Ego even mentions to Star-Lord when he impales him that he can spend a long time functioning as a battery of sorts. One way or another Star-Lord would have turned on Ego, as either Gamora or Yondu would have informed him of all of Ego's dead children.
