Starwars is in the xscreensaver-gl-extra package. The bug can be reproduced 
with:
  /usr/lib/xscreensaver/starwars -program 'echo write ö here'
(or any other non-ascii character in the string)

Unfortunately, the xscreensaver code is not very good at UTF-8. It uses 
iso-8859-1, so this will work:
 /usr/lib/xscreensaver/starwars -program 'echo write ö here | iconv -f utf8 -t 
iso-8859-1'

** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
