Ok...Doc got shot back to 1885 in his car. Marty then dug up the car in 1955, and went back to get Doc. Marty's car gets an arrow in the petrol tank and lose all the fuel!
Ok so far.
Doc and Marty try and fix Marty's car....But wait...Why don't they just use the feul from the Car Doc went back in time in.
Before you all flame me down think about it. In BTTF 2 we saw 2 time machines. The one they used to get back and try and fix the time line, and the car from the first film, in the scene where we see the 2 Docs, Remember?
So according to the BTTF law, there can be 2 time machines at the same time. So why doesn't this apply to the third film.
Doc went to 1885 in his car. Marty used the same car and went to 1885...so in 1885 there should be 2 cars.
The car that Doc got shot back in time in must still have had enough fuel for them to reach 88mph, but there was no mention of it whatsoever.


Ok, so I'll give you the Maggie = Lorraine thing. They just wanted to give Lea Thompson a part in the third one.

But as for the car; you don't store a car for seventy years with gas still in the tank!! Doc probably would have drained the tank before storing and likey used the fuel for his experiments or something. Remember he didn't expect Marty to come back and get him.

Also, Doc in 1955 tells Marty he refueld the gas tank before Marty drives towards the Theatre Indians.

What happened to the 'used' universe?

That's something Back to the Future got right at least.

Still, I think in The Clone Wars it doesn't really count because it's a cartoon. Like I said, look at Tatooine in TMP and AoTC; Watto's shop, Anikan's neiborhood. They look pretty trashy because their located in the armpit of Tatooine.
But Coruscant is the capital and is meticulously cleaned to remain pristine.
Remember before the club scene, did anakin not crash and fall of Zam's speeder into a pile of old trash containers or something?

Phrophetic dreams says Jedisage?

I can't say I've dreamed anything like what he described, but I've had some creepy Deja vu dreams some times. The most vivid was once I dreampt of a flash of light, and myself looking up at the sky with a metal bar over my head and I heard someone yelling "[Name, Name], Is he Okay?"

Several years later I fell after slipping on some wet wood and someone whom I hadn't yet met at the time of the dream yelled to his friend, "Ben, Ben, is he Okay?"... And the same metal bar was above me; the flash of light came from the mild concussion and/or me seeing the bright sky after having my eyes closed.

Time travel makes dolor en la cabeza.

In Back to the Future, it's generally accepted that Time is changeable; it's the whole theme of the movie. Because Marty taught George not to be a selfish recluse, he became a sucsessful father and author. History changed. Remember the photo, the news papers used through out part two? They change when the past changes.

By that logic, Doc is technially dead until Marty changes the past (The fact that the Twin Pines Mall reads "Lone Pine" before Marty goes back in time is an inconsistency--but cinematically it is better as a subtle thing.)
