According to wikipedia, Lucas used one of his designs for ESB's Imperial Probe Droid, but that's it (although later features draw from his style and works e.g. Coruscant)
Star Wars and Alien drew from his work indirectly. Notably his work on the scrapped Dune movie that started Salvadore Dali and was directed by Jodorowsky.

The space suits in alien were his design.

He also did early concept work for Blade Runner. Syd Mead talks about his small influence in the early designs.

#25I remember going to see The fifth element by Luc Besson at the cinema without knowing Jean Giraud had designed much of the set and costumes. It was overwhelming to see Jean Girauds fantasy world on the big screen after reading his comic books about John DiFool.
