The Lone Celestial?

Now things get a bit tricky. In the comics, Ego actually was a living planet. In the MCU, he called himself a Celestial, and added that he was the only Celestial. Given his lifespan, and his past as an explorer, we should believe him.

However, the first Guardians of the Galaxy film featured at least one more Celestial, Knowhere, which was actually the severed head of such a being. A second Celestial, Eson, wielded the Power Stone during the Collector’s short history of the Infinity Stones.

Is there a connection between these three Celestials, given the fact that Ego said he was the only one? There could be one, especially if Ego also tried to use the Infinity Stones to take over the Universe, but was stopped and killed before succeeding in doing so. This could explain his coming into existence as a brain, especially if Eson’s death came via beheading.

Sure, this is just a theory, but wouldn’t it be great? To learn more, check it out in full here!
