These tributes from Adam Nimoy to Leonard Nimoy are far from the first. In 2016, he directed For the Love of Spock, a documentary examining and paying rememberance to Leonard Nimoy's cultural impact in Star Trek. The documentary was already in the works before Leonard Nimoy left us. Adam Nimoy also directed his dad in The Outer Limits in 1995 for an episode titled "I, Robot," released nearly ten years before the film of the same name.

Leonard Nimoy is also remembered by his daughter, Julie Nimoy. She directed her own documentary tribute to her father, Remembering Leonard: His Life, Legacy and Battle with COPD, which was released last year. Julie Nimoy also went on Twitter to remember her late actor father on his birthday.
