Hi,
I remember from my old TV recordings of Star Wars in the Cantina the Bartender yells “No Blasters”. In all later versions I’ve seen including the Harmy’s Despecialised Edition He says “Code Black”.
In this video he says “No Blasters”:

Does any one know what the original audio should be?
This is going to be confusing…
I’ve only ever heard “no blasters” in every version I’ve ever seen.
I think it’s always no blasters but if you’re not listening super close it just kinda sounds like code black.
I never heard “Code black” 😃 He screams “No blasters, no blasters” in every single sound mix I’ve heard
Yep have only heard ‘No blasters’.
“Code black” and “No blasters” sound very similar.
Linguistic breakdown:
/k/ and /n/ are both common obstruents
Then they both have /o͡ʊ/
There’s /db/ and /b/, but often, /db/ becomes /b/
Then there’s /læ/
/k/ and /s/ are common obstruents commonly mistaken for each other
The “ers” part is kinda quiet, especially on the second yell. Your brain probably thought “Code black”, went with it, and ignored the “ers”.
Those of you who are dank linguists, I know this wasn’t 100% perfect but it gets the point across.
