In March 2016, Star Trek: Axanar received support from Star Trek Beyond director Justin Lin and his immediate predecessor J.J. Abrams, the latter of whom implied that the lawsuit would go away.
The trial was scheduled to begin this month, but now the messy situation has been resolved before going too deep in.
The journey towards reaching this resolution hit a few bumps along the way.
Among the issues that the studios had with the Axanar film included the tunics and appearance of the Vulcans looking too similar to what were seen in the original 1960s TV series, as well as the copyright surrounding the Klingon language.
