On the way: 
It's Ewan MacGregor. It's Ewan MacGregor leaning against the door of the 10.54. 
I mean, he's got that distinctive . . . um . . . that distinctive . . . um . . . well anyway, he looks like Ewan MacGregor, okay? 
And he's got good hair, deep brown, pushed back like Jump Street era Depp, but that just sort of confuses the issue. And facial growths - that's more to the point. 
He sneezes. 
That's it. That's the way to decide it. Once and for all. Listen carefully . . .
He sneezes again. 
Now is that how Alec Guinness would have sneezed? Reach out with your senses . . . 'If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can imagine . . . aaachooo!'  Nah, that doesn't work. How about . . . 'This little one's not worth the effort . . . aaachooo!' No, it certainly isn't.
The train stops. He moves. Soon he'll be gone and we'll never know the truth.
He reaches down with his right hand, and a little black briefcase rises to meet it. 
Bingo, that's him all right. Toldja.
