It is true that the arms race (proliferation of large numbers of nuclear weapons) was designed to bankrupt the USSR, and helped in doing so politically, but the Star Wars programme was the opposite. The Star Wars programme was a scheme to prevent the incoming missiles from coming to earth, and to intercept them in space. The USA offered to help the USSR with similar technology but was refused.
