After five years of waiting, Amy Farrah Fowler and Sheldon Cooper finally had sex in a monumental moment in the Big Bang Theory’s history.

In a special Star Wars: The Force Awakens themed episode (because everything is Star Wars themed right now) the two are seen nervously getting into bed with each other while their friends watch the JJ Abrams directed film.

Both the couple in bed and the gang seeing Star Wars mirror each other, as the four men describe how nervous they are before watching the film as Amy describes her similar feelings before having sex. Watch the SFW clip below.

“A few hours later, in a bedroom not far away…” Sheldon exclaims that he “enjoyed that more than I thought I would”, while - back in the cinema – Will Wheaton exclaims exactly the same thing.

The clip comes from ‘The Opening Night Excitation’, the 11th episode of season nine. It first aired on CBC 17 December in the US, while it will air on channel four in the UK early 2016.
