So what amount of years is required for a director that has done one
of the most well received movie in the history of movies to forget how
to direct? I'm assuming the number is somewhere between 8 and 22 then.
Is it universal? Would it apply to Stanley Kubrik? Spielberg? Cameron?

When the MF rises up from the docking bay in Mos Eisley. It was a new
scene in the special edition. In the originals, the storm troopers
shoot at it and then we see it shoot out veritcally from the cityscape
while two storm troopers look at it from outside the docking bays.
