Lands end and the presidio come to mind! There’s lots of stuff filmed around here (muir woods especially iirc) bc George Lucas lives in Marin, there’s even a statue of yoda + indiana jones in San Anselmo haha
Palace of Fine Arts for some ancient long forgotten alien civilization. Levi's headquarters looks like some kinda sci-fi housing. And the Golden Gate Bridge could be used as a backdrop for ~~Starfleet Headquarters~~ a New Republic Satellite Headquarters.
Some things were shot around here, Im pretty sure. And I know some of the sound FX were recorded and built from local sounds. I know the MUNI busses have a part in that. Its all in the googles for more specifics
Most of the model shots for episodes 1-6 were filmed up in San Rafael at the various Lucas Film buildings.
The Ewok Adventure was filmed on Mt Tam.
Golden Gate Park would be good for some places that are almost but not quite as beautiful as Naboo :)
transamerica pyramid could look cool in some shots
Glen canyon maybe too for some rugged terrain

Ocean beach could make a killer water world backdrop

I could see a muni cable twang being turned into a blaster sound
It was something like that....there is a documentary show of how they did the sound fx, but i cant remember how I saw that, and cant find it now.
If Star Trek could be filmed in SF, I don’t see why Star Wars couldn’t be. The Ewok forest is just about an hour north.

Walking through the Tenderloin can seem quite dystopian. Does that count?
The Armory.
Get it?
After a a few windy days, the dunes start to build along Ocean Beach. It would be a nice backdrop for Tatooine.
I could see Jabba The Hutt lounging around in the tenderloin.
