Hi folks - hope it's OK if I alert members and interested practitioners to my YouTube channel which deals specifically with John Williams's harmonic language using (at the moment) mostly The Phantom Menace and other Star Wars cues as examples.
I build upon Mark Richards' fantastic work on octatonic and hexatonic sets as well as the Hungarian Minor scale and other specific chord types including polychords, 'wrong note' bass and quasi-atonal musical language and other pitch note complexes (like 5-note and 6-note collections).
Am very grateful to Ed Buller who's been brilliant at supporting and promoting the channel as well as my superb patrons too.
Here's the channel - would be interested in your collective thoughts... and just continuing dialogue about JW's rich language.

It might be slightly odd to tackle some of this from a pitch class set angle (rather than neo-Riemannian theory) but it was a way of me understanding what links seemingly disparate chords with each other.
