After being saved by the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Nova Corps, now aware of Earth sent the Xandarian Chamber Orchestra to its cultural epicenter, Epcot, in order to teach a crowd of terrans about their culture through music.

Aware of this, Star-Lord and Gamora go to Epcot, in order to save the galaxy from "bad music". With help from Groot, aboard the Benatar, Star-Lord sends tunes from his Awesome Mix to the Orchestra's headsets. Star-Lord helps the orchestra play 4 different songs, while Gamora reiterates to him that "bad music" is not a serious emergency that warrants their presence. Star-Lord concedes, and begins to leave after the fourth song, but the Orchestra choose to play The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" without his help. The Guardians stay to watch, but Groot alerts them that a fleet of Sovereign Drone Ships is attacking the Benatar. The two leave, but Star-Lord tells the Orchestra to choose a new name if they want to become a truly great cover band, and the Orchestra takes the name "The Star-Lords" in his honor, before finishing their song.
