** ''Film/StarWarsEpisodeVIReturnOfTheJedi'': The Ewoks' village is built in the canopy of one of their world's vast forests, with rope bridges connecting its homes and platforms. While, unlike the much larger Wookiees, Ewoks aren't particularly adapted for tree-dwelling and would've been unable to do so before they developed rudimentary technology, the ExpandedUniverse shows that the forests of Endor have many predators and that the diminutive Ewoks build their homes in trees to stay out of their reach. Given the size of some of the local predators, this takes some doing -- Goraxes, for instance, are big enough to easily pull down huts built in a tree's lower branches.
** The Wookiee homeworld, Kashyyyk, is covered in [[TreetopWorld global forests of mile-tall trees]], and all Wookiee cities are built in their canopies, far above the lightless forest floor. ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' shows that there ''are'' portions of Kashyyyk (along coasts, for example) where the trees are lower to the ground, but Wookiees are arboreal by nature (for example their hands and feet have retractable claws specifically adapted to climbing trees) and don't ''want'' to live on the ground even if they can (another contrast to the Ewoks).

* ''Literature/TitansForest'': The city-kingdom of Canopy is built entirely with the topmost parts of the world's immense forest.

The enclaves of its living gods are built in the forest's immense emergent trees, their tops lopped off to hold basins of earth and larger buildings.
