I understood that the villain Ego was controling whole planet, because he was the planet itself and the humaoid form was his avatar, a puppet with his transfered mind.

In original Marvel Peter's father is not Ego, but J'son the emperor of planet Spartax, who looked like human. Director and writer of the film changed it, James Gunn, because he claimed the original story reminds Star Wars too much, so he wanted to be more original. I think it was a good decision, because the story is more interesting.
