It did aprear in the comic, the novel, and various behind-the-scenes books, and the footage was included on a CD-ROM that accompanied one of those books. That footage can be located online in ultra-low-quality video. Just look up the phrase "Probably a freighter-tanker refueling." 43 – Corellianrogue – sadly, unlike us, most people are unfamiliar with the great deleted scene from the original Star Wars, featuring Biggs Darklighter’s introduction.

I've never actually seen the ISS, and seeing it from such a small scope is amazing enough... But in terms of hand-guided tracking... wow. I just had to do some figures: Given its speed of 27,743 kph and width of about 108 meters, that means that the station is going to be moving at over <i>71 times its width every second</i>. I say again, <b>wow.</b> I'll bet the photographer is a world-class skeet shooter! :D Wow.
