There is trouble in Sheldon and Amy's paradise of marriage, and Thursday's episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' saw Professor Proton returning to give Sheldon some marital advice.

Of course, he paid a visit in Sheldon's dream, being dead for many years. But Sheldon's beloved childhood hero, played by the acerbicly charming Bob Newhart, is still on his mind, from where he pops up and offers words of wisdom whenever Sheldon finds himself in trouble. 

During their reunion after a long time, we see Sheldon sitting with his favorite "ghost" in a delicatessen on planet Dagobah. Professor Proton is wearing his Jedi robes and looks visibly unhappy with his order.
