See, you can't do that.

If you were to kill Lucas in 95 he wouldn't have made any of the SE or PT.
If the SE or PT weren't made, this site would have nerver existed.
If this site never existed we wouldn't be here talking about this.
If we're not here to talk about this, then we would never go back to kill him.
If we can't go back to kill him, he would then be able to make the SE and PT.

See can't be done....

I love time travel

I dont think thats right...cause a) it assumes that no one would come up with the idea if this site wasnt here. But also, since your doing something that changes the flow of history it would possibly just make it so when you return no one knows about the special editions except you cause they never existed.

Thats actually where it gets confusing. Think of Back to the Future. Marty made changes, but he is still the Marty from the pre-change time period. so he really caused a branch. But the changes he made almost affected him while in the past (if his parents hadnt gotten together) so wouldnt then all the memories he had from growing up of changed as well (since those events changed), causing him to not be confused when he went back to his parents and saw that things were 'different'.

or maybe time travel is possible, and someone did go back to stop the prequals (its not necessary to kill him, plus its an inappropriate comment) but then since there were no SE's it changed the events so that they never went back in time, thus they never went back in time to stopped the SE's because they werent there to stop.

but back to the BttF, you could go by what Doc says in 2. If im not mistaken he says something about the changes actually causing branches and its a 'different 1985'
