Chris Pratt ’s Star - Lord avail makeGuardians of the Galaxyone of the most entertaining films in the MCU . The film ’s writers had fun with a lot of aspects of Pratt ’s character , not the least of which was his alias . Peter Quill a.k.a . “ Star - Lord ” spends a ripe part of the movie try out to push one very particular agenda : to pull in his name “ Star - Lord ” the regard it deserve .

When we first run across grownup Peter Quill he ’s listen to his mother ’s mix tape recording and dancing irreverently on Morag . He ’s there to slip a mysterious orb ( which we later find out contains the magnate Isidor Feinstein Stone ) , but is attacked by Korath ( Djimon Hounsou ) . When Korath asks Quill who he is , our hero drops his alias , expecting acknowledgement , he receive the opposite — who?asks Korath . “Star - Lord , man . fabled outlaw?“Quill ’s fight for ill fame   becomesa running   gag in the moving-picture show , and during the   chronological succession in the Kyln when the Guardians are detained by the Nova Corps , a line of dialogue from the trailer was dropped and Peter ’s on - screen detail were adjusted to get in an extra trick at the disbursement of " Star - Lord . "

When the Guardians are capture , Corpsman Dey ( John C. Reilly ) lucubrate on the identity of each defender . In thefirst trailer forGuardians of the Galaxy , Reilly ’s case says , " Peter Jason Quill . He ’s also known as Star - Lord . " " Who calls him that?“asks   Garthan Saal ( Peter Serafinowicz).“Himself , mostly . ”As he does this , a digital filmdom reveals the screen background information of each Guardian : weight , length , planet of beginning , and of course alias .   For Peter this last one   was originally " Starlord " in the trailer ( even though that ’s still wrong , considering there ’s no hyphen ) . However , in the film the dialogue where Dey recognise Quill as " Starlord " is taken out altogether ; or else ,   director James Gunn   determine to change the exhibit false name to " Space - Lord " - indicate that Peter once again assay to establish his alias , only for it to be written down incorrectly in the Kyln ’s database .

Chris Pratt first found renown as Andy Dwyer on the NBC hitParks and Recreation . When we first come across him , the character is an overweight , unemployed slacker . Pratt has described that character as“dim - witted and guileless , a real idiot , but loveable . ”Originally intend to be a impermanent part on the show , Andy was   upgrade to   a series even due to Pratt ’s charisma and gift for funniness . These feature help Pratt come through the purpose of Star - Lord overthe many other actors who auditioned . Upon being cast as the Guardian , Pratt ’s visibility grew exponentially(as his body fatness decreased ) .

The joke of Peter Quill ’s false name is an arc in and of itself , not just for the character , but for Chris Pratt . Peter Quill is n’t a well - known felon at the beginning of the film , and Chris Pratt was n’t a well - known movie lead . As Quill testify his heart as a superhero , so does Pratt . Near the end of the movie , when the Guardians breach Ronan ’s ship , Quill runs into Korath again . Korath visit Quill and finally acknowledge him as Star - Lord . smile , Quill says,“finally . ”Not only has " Star - Lord " made it ( whether he leads the Guardians or not ) , but so has the man who plays him .
