Plot

Leonard, Howard and Raj have to decide who will take their extra Star Wars movie ticket, while Sheldon plans something special for Amy's birthday.

Professor Proton visits Sheldon in a dream and gives him advice about whether to go see the new Star wars film or spend the time with his newly reunited girlfriend Amy on her birthday. Meanwhile, Leonard, Howard and Raj try to decide who will get their extra ticket to the movie premiere.

Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj have managed to get tickets for the Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) premiere. Penny reminds Sheldon that that is the day of Amy's birthday, something he may not want to place on the back-burner in favor of the movie considering that they just got back together. When he decides Amy's birthday over the movie, the next step is to decide what to give her as a gift. Asking Penny and Bernadette for advice, Sheldon may give Amy the ultimate gift that she would actually want. If Penny and Bernadette can't keep the secret, Amy may be disappointed if she doesn't get what she thinks. Meanwhile, Sheldon has given his movie ticket to the guys to give to whomever they feel worthy. They may regret their choice.—Huggo

Cue the Star Wars theme. Roll credits over a dark star field. "Episode 194. The Opening Night Excitation. Our heroes, Leonard, Sheldon, Wolowitz and Raj know that tickets to the Star Wars movie are about to be available for pre-sale. If they fail in their mission and can't see it on opening night Sheldon has sworn that they will never hear the end of it for the rest of their lives... They believe him."

In Apartment 4A, Leonard walks in on the guys and announces that the tickets are already being sold. Sheldon can't get in because the website is frozen. Then Sheldon exclaims that desperate times call out for desperate measures and falls to his knees and starts praying. He tells the Lord that he is good friends with his mom and that he has always denied his existence... Howard exclaims that he has the tickets. ...then Sheldon adds that he will continue to deny God's existence.

In the present day, Sheldon, Leonard and Penny are in the kitchen. Both are glad that Sheldon is back together with Amy. Penny reminds Sheldon that Thursday (The day the new movies releases) is also Amy's birthday; however, Sheldon bought the tickets while they were still broken up. Sheldon points out that if he sees it later, someone could ruin the movie for him while he knows that on her birthday Amy is one year older.

That night as Sheldon sleeps Arthur Jeffries (Bob Newhart) shows up dressed in Jedi robes. He has previously appeared when Sheldon needed advice. Sheldon explains that his friends don't think he should abandon his girlfriend on her birthday to see the new Star Wars movie. Arthur feels that that sounds right and complains that his Jedi robes have no undergarments. Arthur points out that since he loves her, he should show her how much she means to him. Also he has only a limited time to spend with her and he should do that.

Sheldon then calls up Amy who is asleep to tell her that he'll be with her on her birthday. The next evening, the guys are surprised Sheldon is giving up the movie for Amy. Sheldon wants someone worthy to get his ticket. Leonard says that Penny might want to go. Sheldon snatches it back and gives it to Raj.

Penny and Bernadette are having wine in Apartment 4B, as Sheldon knocks on her door. He wants their help in selecting his gift for Amy. 1. The possibility of her playing her harp with the LA Philharmonic. 2. An all expense paid weekend to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival. (She likes to knit her own sweaters.). 3. Coitus. A surprised Penny breaks the wine glass in her hand.

At the comic book store, Leonard first thinks of giving the ticket to Stuart. Raj and Howard don't like Stuart's habits while watching the movie. Wil Wheaton enters the store and Howard quickly asks him who is glad to go with them.

As Penny is sweeping up the glass, she recaps his options as the harp thing, the sheep thing... "The wild thing", Bernadette adds. Penny tells him that being intimate is a big step. Sheldon feels that it might be the right time and he wants to show her how much she means to him. Penny calls his offer beautiful. Sheldon then has decided that Amy's birthday present is going to be his genitals.

The Posse duo of Penny and Bernadette are taking Amy out for her birthday a day early. Penny wonders if she would rather go get a bikini wax. She says no. Bernadette then suggests that afterwards they watch a dirty movie and see if she has any questions. Now she wants to know what's up. Bernie doesn't want to ruin anything, but says that Sheldon plans on getting physical tomorrow night. Amy exclaims, "YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!". The girls are happy for her. Amy jumps up knowing what to say: "Let's get me waxed!" as she races down the stairs.

Arthur returns to Sheldon wondering why he can't appear in Angie Dickinson's bedroom. Sheldon tells him about his plans to be physical with Amy. He starts to explain the birds and the bees, but Sheldon is really just worried that he will be overwhelmed on this important night and ruin everything. Arthur reassures him that if he is with the right person everything will be okay.

The guys are excited that opening night has finally come. Raj still can't believe that Sheldon gave it up for Amy. Leonard thinks that they're going to have so much more fun than he is.

At the movies, the audience starts booing since Wil Wheaton shows up in a Star Trek uniform dressed as Mr. Spock. Someone calls out that Star Trek stinks. Wil replies, "Live long and suck it."

Amy is in her apartment with romantic music (Super Mario Brothers theme song) playing and surrounded by lit candles. Sheldon knocks with "Birthday girl" as his usual knock. Sheldon suggests going out to dinner. She says that she is not that hungry so maybe he could give her a present first. She wants him to give "it" to her. Amy says that she knows he was going to offer her intimacy. Sheldon asks if that's okay. Amy jumps up and kisses him. Sheldon still needs to have her verbal consent, which she immediately says yes to.

Leonard asks Wil why he is there if he doesn't like the movie. Wil explains that he is enjoying himself and that his point is that people shouldn't take the Star Wars movie so seriously. And that if the movie is bad, it shouldn't ruin their life.

Back in Apartment 4A, Bernadette wonders if Sheldon will really go through with it. Penny replied that he said he was ready. Penny thinks he can do it because she explained to him what it was like and after he stopped giggling, he sounded pretty sure of himself.

Later, Sheldon is in Amy's bed slightly nervous wearing only a white T-shirt as Amy enters in a knee length pink nightgown. Sheldon notices that Amy is shaking and he asks her if she's cold. Amy admits she's nervous because this is their first time. Sheldon also doesn't know what will happen and gently assures her that they will find out together. Amy agrees. They lean over and kiss.

In the movie, Leonard is nervous and doesn't know what to expect. Howard says that they have been waiting so long.

"A few hours later in a bedroom not far away..." Now naked, Sheldon remarks that he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. Amy's hair is wildly messed up and Sheldon's is neat. "Me, too," she says gleefully. Sheldon tells her he can't wait for her next birthday so they can do it again.

Back at the movie, Wil Wheaton says that they enjoyed more than they thought they would. The guys are shell-shocked or having a post-coital reaction and unable to move like Sheldon and Amy (showing how much that they loved the new film)

A few nights later, Professor Proton visits Sheldon again and he asks how it went. Sheldon said that he saw it a few days later and it was amazing. The Star Wars movie. What about Amy? She really liked the movie too. Arthur smiles at him and says, "Good talk."
