Dune is certainly also a fantasy, in some senses, just as many SF books could be classified both ways; but, as opposed to Star Wars, which could not reasonably be classified as SF, it can be seen as both.
Also, I share nothing in common with Ben's definition of SF... please don't lump me in with him
