Former LEGO ambassador and LEGO zealot as a whole. If I could give negative rep for people writing "Legos", I would. It's going to be very hard not to suspend any offender though.

comment What is the rarest LEGO production element (colour/shape combination)?
How could I forget about the white minifig female hair... (although in all fairness I've seen some sold at auctions a few years ago, and these were even provided by LEGO itself)

comment Will Mindstorms EV3 be backwards compatible?
Indeed, the FAQ you link to clearly state that EV3 sensors won't be usable with a NXT brick and that indeed EV3 motors, however, will be (which is kinda cool, by the way), but the question was about the opposite: will NXT sensors be usable with an EV3 bricks, to which the answer is yes.

comment What is the rarest LEGO production element (colour/shape combination)?
Agood example of "part of sets produced not to be sold" would be the green BURP, as it's only been used in that one set which was only given to Vestas employees (not that some didn't make it to the market, of course, and I've seen the green BURP in bulk actions in some rare instances). Barring that, I believe that at some point LEGOland parks did have access to more elements in alternate colours, but that probably doesn't count either since these weren't supposed to be released to the public.

comment How do I remove orange (rust?) stains from white elements?
I guess the first step would be to identify what the stuff actually is (the only idea that comes to mind being cat urine, since an unguarded box of small LEGO parts could be mistaken for a litter box by some); and then whether is comes of or not - I supposed you've tried regular cleaning options already? And are you sure it's orange spots, not simply sun-yellowed bricks?

comment What are the possible differences between LEGO elements?
I agree that the first two questions are a bit bizarre, but I'm confident the translation is fairly accurate. That said, being a school assignment, I trust the question may be deliberately vague in order to see what answers the students will come up with. And even as such, question 2 can certainly be answered (eg. bricks, plates, technic beams, gears, axles, wheels, whatever) - question 1 make admittedly less sense (especially the "other" which puzzles me, there may be some introductory text we're missing)

comment What are the possible differences between LEGO elements?
Hallo Maxime en welkom op deze site. Helaas is de site zelf voor engelstaligen bedoeld. Ik denk dat je vraag wel interessant is voor iedereen, en daarom heb ik het vertaald, maar ik vreese dat meeste antwoorden zullen in het Engels zijn. Nog iets, ik zie dat je een student, gelieve te noteren dat je meer dan 13 moet zijn om aan de site deel te nemen (ik weet niet echt welke leeftijd de studenten van een Technasium school hebben). En, ja, eigenlijk moet je wel zo veel mogelijk in het Engels kunnen deelnemen - vraag misschien hulp aan je leraar Engels.

comment What are the possible differences between LEGO elements?
Note: this question has been translated from Dutch, feel free to check the original Dutch wording in the first revision. Also, if you have some elements of answers linking to Dutch-speaking sites, I guess that's even better... Answering in Dutch might be fine too provided there's an English translation as well.

comment Mindstorms start block is missing
to be clear, you're speaking on the software platform on your computer, right? not the brick itself?

comment Is there an easier way of threading Technic pins into other elements?
Maybe I forgot about the "easier" part of the question, though

comment does Lego make bricks with a stone, brick or concrete block design?
Even when simply placed next to another, tiles give a great effect, thanks to the bezel. Check this house for a basic example

Didn't think about LEGO either, I guess it was too right under our noses.

comment What are the known software tools for the EV3?
But the beauty of it is, how long before a fan creates his own app to do just that? It's certainly doable in some way, even if not fully mimicking the LEGO software

Indeed, none whatsoever as fara s the brick is concerned

comment What are the known software tools for the EV3?
NXT bricks, yes, but you can pretty much forget about the software being able to program a RCX brick

comment How to improve the range of an IR reciever?
Fresh batteries may help, too - ever noticed how TV remotes tend to exhibit the same behaviour with worn out batteries?

comment Are there any Star Wars vehicles that have not yet been produced in a Lego kit?
Not that it hasn't been made in LEGO by fans - and there's a (smaller) one on Cuusoo too. But seeing the fragility of the center section (seriously, who does design spaceships that way?), I'm not sure LEGO would be willing to make an official one. It's not so much swooshable as explodable.

But, all joke aside, LEGO is likely to focus on visual Star Wars rather than obscure expanded universe reference, so I can see why you restricted your question to the films and Clone Wars.

Did you read Wookiepedia? All of it?
