One early draft script was subtitled "The Trial of James T. Kirk". This script involved Kirk being court-martialed at the request of the Klingons, who were indignant about the events in Star Trek III - Alla ricerca di Spock (1984). One particularly interesting facet of this script is that it included the original series character Harry Mudd (Roger C. Carmel) as a character witness. But Carmel was in poor health and would die the same year the film was released. When the time-travel script was approved, the trial was included as a minor sequence. The trial-by-Klingons idea, and portions of the dialogue, were reused in Rotta verso l'ignoto (1991).
