At this point, it is known that the upcoming Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy video game from Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal – set to release on October 26th – isn’t a direct, word-for-word replica or adaptation of any kind of source material. Instead, it takes all of that source material to then synthesize it into something entirely new. As such, it should likely come as no surprise that the developers have concocted their own reasoning for why Peter Quill would call himself Star-Lord in the video game, and while it’s certainly different, if you are at all familiar with any of the character’s various incarnations, it likely will not surprise you.
Peter Quill is a child of the 80s through and through, from his haircut to his pins.
Why does he call himself Star-Lord? In our universe, it was originally the name of his favorite teenage rock band 🤘 #GOTGGame pic.twitter.com/dc2R2cfSRP
