What is the difference, technically, between telekinesis and psychokinesis?

I always got the impression from watching the Star Wars movies that the Jedi telekinesis was because they were attuned to their Oneness with the Force and hence interconnected with all things. So, any material object is basically under their influence, if they so choose. Hence also, the mind control tricks and influencing the gambling cube with a wave of the hand.

As such, there may be no strict scientific explanation for that type of energy other than to call it mental energy and to believe you possess that energy in suffient strength based on your oneness with the Force.

Therefore, the explanation becomes "concentrate and focus your mental direction on an object at hand and visualize exactly what you want to do with it: raise it in the air, spin it around, hurl it, pull it out of a swamp, etc. and believe that you have the power to do exactly as you visualize."
