Sunday's Academy Awards might have been a little boring, but there was one moment that no doubt blew some nerdy fans' minds.

During an awkward, unnecessary, far-too-long bit in which Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel interrupted a screening of Wrinkle in Time with the help of some fab celebs, Luke Skywalker and Wonder Woman had a cordial moment of mutual recognition.
