I'm going to guess no. That shot has been zoomed in on, so you'd really have to look for that structure to find it. I'm glad 95% of SW:GE that's visible to Rivers of America guests is rock and wilderness, but I'm also glad there's that little 5% that you can find if you want a peek at Star Wars.

I’d rather it be 0 but I’m glad that it’s only 5% non rock / trees.
On another note, when are they going to block the view of Space Mountain from the top of Chikapin hill?

It's either 8 more trees or one more AA stormtrooper or a green CM in a bikini and tail hat.

Doesn't bother me really since the building isn't technically in Frontierland, but I guess it's kind of jarring to see a Star Wars building poking up back there. I'm sure the trees will block it eventually.

I kind of like how you can see hints if the land.
It’s kind of when you go on Splash mountain and you see hints of tomorrowland and the Matterhorn in the distance. Can’t help saying “Oh look there is space mountain”. Every time

At Disneyland it all seems to work charmingly. Unlike the eyesore GOTG Tower at DCA

GOTG tower doesn't work at all in DCA, that's for sure.

I think some people obsessed about perfect isolation within the realms would have had a stroke riding the sky-way buckets. At Disneyland, all these ideas are smashed into each other, the transitions at the Magic Kingdom are more fluid. But the "smashed transitions" of Disneyland start the moment you go under the arch and you're presented with Main Street, and at the end of which, is a big fairy tale castle. Disneyland is not about perfect isolation. It's about a collision of ideas. No, you don't want spacemen cast members walking around in Frontierland, when you're on stage, you're on stage. But even in 1955, the opening experience of Disneyland was a collision of realities. Your brain starts clicking and you're out of your element the moment you see the castle at the end of Main Street. This is not a bad thing.

One more thing...if you're standing by the Mark Twain, you can swivel your head and see Critter Country, New Orleans Square, Adventureland, Frontierland, Tom Sawyer's Island, and the spires of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. If you're at the Hub, you can see Main Street, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Adventureland...the rock work for Galaxy's Edge does serve as a blend from Frontierland and Critter Country to a new realm.

Do Deciduous trees usually still drop the leaves at Disneyland then? I don't understand trees that don't belong in Mediterranean climates apparently.
Nor do I understand places where temperature is not the primary driver of seasons...

I’m also confused. TBH I’ve never noticed many bare trees at Disneyland but have recently noticed a few on the berm as you noticed as well as the backside of the new dumbo wall. Maybe they are transplanted trees that are going through a little shock?
