What I read was from TheForce.net, which is the BIGGEST star wars website on the Internet, with more information than the official site.

It's "information", since it's all rumors untill confirmed by the official site. BSWJBJ is the biggest and even official message board and how much of that stuff can you believe? Does biggest make anything more believeable? There's a reason some sites are official and others are not.

What George said about the fire and stuff was written as a quote, he did actually say it, and it may have even been on the official site too.

Show me the quote from the OFFICIAL site and then we'll talk.

Oh, and I don't know how much you know about computers, but even ILM aren't yet capable of creating photo-realistic fire. Even the Balrog from Lord Of The Rings was done using a lot of texture mapping, which required a lot of filming to acquire before CG work could be done.

I've just worked with computers for all my life. Yes, it requires texture mapping, but it doesn't mean it can't be done. Actually, every bit of CGI - graphics require some sort of texture mapping, you can't create an object without a texture. And realistic particle effects have been in games and movies for years, and fire can also be created with that effect. Depending on how you want it to look there are several techniques you can use.
Maybe you should look into 3D graphics and the creation of 3D effects more than just read about it. It's a lot of work, but you'll learn a lot.
