There is absolutly no way one person could do either of the things listed... at least not outside of some very specific circumstances. (For the holocaust, Kill/restrain instigators before the propaganda storm... which doing such before they start plotting runs into some weird ethical and moral issues.((Also, I have a feeling WWII would have still happened given all the political unrest. so don't count on saving everyone.)) and for Lucas, well... somehow meet and win an argument with him.)
changing such a large aspect of history is a weird ethical and moral issue itself. That said many would feel it is worth it to stop somthing like the holocaust. (It would also have the nice side effect of making the "Just like Hitler!!!" political argument invalid. That would be another incentive.)
If I could go back in time, I don't think I would use it for much. Call me selfish.
If you could go back in time to stop one of things, what would you do?
