NO..this is not a long lost scene of Star Wars ! It is a shot of the driver's seat of the ICE train. There is what seems to be a cup of coffee on the console, so it is safe to assume, that there is no alien driving this train. What I would give to be able to sit next to that driver. Maybe for him being in charge of a train that speeds along at over 200 MPH is routine, but I would find it quite exhilarating. Beats doing 65 on the freeway. And here we are in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where I had to change to a 'normal' train of the Dutch Railways to take me to my final destination, Vlissingen, where my brothers live, to start the Dutch part of this vacation. A parting shot, so to speak, of the front of the ICE train.
