I know this sounds dumb, but what is the difference between physical and special damage?
Because I notice people like JKR and DR have basics that deal special damage, just wonder How that is different

If you guys go to swgoh.gg, under character stats -> offensive, then click "Special Damage" you might be surprised at how many non-force sensitive characters utilize special damage (like Resistance Hero Poe and Kuill).
@CT_Waxer_7777, there are characters that can utilize both physical and special damage. Count Dooku deals physical damage on his basic and special damage on his force lightning ability. His special damage is higher though. Echo uses physical damage on his basic and special damage on his EMP grenade ability. Mace Windu and Eeth Koth have physical basics and special-attacking specials. Grand Master Yoda actually used to be a mixed attacker like this, but when he was reworked back in June 2018, they changed his kit to use special damage only.
