What was Ego's motive exactly?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Spoilers ahead.
May be I wasn't paying enough attention. Thus, miss the plot. So Ego wanted to find a person or a entity, who would carry the energy that he needed in order to spread the light of Ego's planet everywhere. Right ? That's why he spread some seed like thing everywhere in the universe.
But why? I mean what was the big plan? Was he wanted to kill all life but himself / itself? If not then why destroying only habitable planets? He could have use any planet without life to spread the Ego planet's branch.
Best Answer
Ego (the concept) is defined as
"a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance."
Ego (the planet/person/god), is the literal depiction of the concept of Ego. So Ego's motivation is to grow his Ego (sense of self importance), by becoming everything in the universe. Of-course he doesn't have the power to do this on his own.

Why is Ego evil in Guardians of the Galaxy?
He is an egotistical and omnicidal Celestial who desires to expand himself over the entire universe, which would mean the destruction of all life in it. Like Ronan from the first film, this version of Ego is far crueler, malevolent and an infinitely bigger threat than his mainstream comic counterpart ever was.Why is Ego different from other celestials?
Ego was a celestial born outside of the influence of another celestial (i.e. he wasn't born of a celestial seed like the ones we now know are) and thus, lacked the typical physical form of one. He didn't have a planet, or sentient energy to fee off of to grow and mature like a celestial born of a seed would.ETERNALS: Ego Was Created to Defeat Galactus | Marvel Theory Explained
