[[Tetsuya Nomura]], the director of ''Birth by Sleep'', said Nimoy was chosen for the role specifically because of his role as Spock, to play opposite [[Mark Hamill]], famous for his role as [[Luke Skywalker]] in ''[[Star Wars]]'', as Nomura was a fan of both series and wanted to pit them against each other. Nimoy reprised this role for ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' in 2012. After his death in 2015, Nimoy was replaced for the role as Xehanort by [[Rutger Hauer]], who died and was succeeded by Nimoy's ''Star Trek'' co-star [[Christopher Lloyd]].
