It made no sense because neither character knew each other that well enough to evoke that kind of emotion.

It was an obvious horrendous scene crowbarred in simply to appease fanboys by giving them a franchise love letter moment. A bland emotionless fail that the creators think was clever because they switched the roles. Alternative dimensional reality? we can just switch the roles...wow that was easy and look how clever we look. The fans will LOVE it!
