Extended Plot
Sheldon and Leonard are on their way to give a lecture and have plenty of time so they head to Star Wars director George Lucas' house. Sheldon is very excited and even lets Leonard turn on the radio. They drive up to the gate at his house and use the little speaker box and convince George Lucas to let them in by describing themselves as big fans, but not the crazy type that have a backpack filled with tape and rope. He buzzes them in. Next they reach the security guard and Sheldon says they have defeated the first quest. Leonard insists that they are trying to meet George Lucas, not slay a dragon. As a back-up plan Sheldon hopes that they have a nurse's office which will work as long as Leonard has a willingness to be gently stabbed. Leonard tells the security that they don't have an appointment, but they're real scientists that are really big fans. The security guard won't let them in without an appointment. Sheldon claims that he's there to do a Yoda voice-over. The security guard says no and offers them free hats and t-shirts as souvenirs. Sheldon asks if they have a nurse's office and runs into the house getting tazed. The guards tell them not to come back. Sheldon says in his best Yoda voice impression "Quite grumpy you are."

At Howard's mother's house, Howard doesn't want to give up his full-size TARDIS from the show "Doctor Who"; however, Bernadette wants to sell it. They plan to settle it by a Ping Pong match with Penny playing for Bernadette and Raj for Howard. Bernadette tells Raj that if he plays for Howard and wins he'll have to keep the TARDIS. Raj then tries to lose. Howard gets Amy to play for him and Bernadette has Raj take over for Penny. Amy serves well, but can't return Raj's serves. No one returns the ball. Final point would allow Howard to keep his TARDIS until Bernadette convinces Amy that if she loses, she can have the TARDIS, replace her bedroom door with the box's door to lure Sheldon into her bed. So Amy throws the game and Howard loses.
