* From the very start, [[BrokenBase the Kelvin Timeline films have been divisive]]. But, after Creator/AntonYelchin's untimely death in June 2016, the entire ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fandom united to honor him, not just Creator/JJAbrams and costars Creator/ZacharyQuinto, Creator/KarlUrban and Creator/JohnCho, but past ''Trek'' alumni, including Creator/WilWheaton, Creator/LeVarBurton, Creator/GeorgeTakei, and Creator/JonathanFrakes.

** The cast showed up to the Comic-Con premiere of the movie wearing black ''Star Trek'' pins in Anton's memory.
** His parents took out a full page ad in the ''Hollywood Reporter'', thanking everyone for their support and thoughts as they grieved.

* The entire film does a great job of honoring the late Creator/LeonardNimoy throughout the film, but one particular moment near the film's end shows the young Spock going through the deceased ambassador's belongings, and he comes upon an old photo of the TOS bridge crew. What's particularly heartwarming is that it's from ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'', which has infamously been viewed as the weakest film in the franchise, especially for TOS.
** The registry number of the USS ''Franklin'' is NX-326, a direct reference to Nimoy's birthday.
* The end credits has two title cards labeled "In loving memory of Creator/LeonardNimoy" and "For [[Creator/AntonYelchin Anton]]."
* The many references to the era of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' are heartwarming for fans of the oft-ridiculed series.
* The Music/BeastieBoys are noted fans of ''Star Trek'' and essentially stopped as a band after the death of MCA/Adam Yauch in 2012. Aside from serving as a CallBack to the first Kelvin Timeline film, the use of "Sabotage" is a fitting tribute to the fans: His music saved the day. Also, while they don't license their songs out as a general rule, they made an exception for the franchise since they were fans and were given context for how "Sabotage" would be used.
-->'''[=McCoy=]:''' Is that ''classical'' music?\\
'''Spock:''' Yes, Doctor, it would seem to be.
