"After all these years, I've found you."

With the trailer's 'twist' ending (which some have deemed a spoiler, despite the fact that it was announced eons ago that Kurt Russell was playing Ego and, in turn, Star-Lord's father), Ego announced himself as Peter's dad and reveals that he's finally found him.

It's an intriguing setup, because Quill is quite clearly blindsided by this revelation, so obviously wasn't on the planet looking for his father (which begs the question of what the Guardians were looking for?).

If that means Ego has conspired a way to bring his son to him, and that this isn't just a random chance encounter, then the question is why is it only now he's managed to find him? Is this just a father-son reunion, or is there at lot more at play here?
