It will stop the intro videos, but you end up with an extended black screen.

You cannot skip intro and you cannot skip cutscenes. There are A LOT of cutscenes. Remember that you can only save at savepoints, and there are cutscenes in between those. You will end up watching more than playing. This is a mildly interactive movie, not a game.

I have never rewatched a cutsene had of yet, but it would be great to skip the intro

Have you played a metal gear solid game? You couldn't more wrong about this being midly a game. Its very much a dark souls game with a story. This game doesn't even come close to metal gear levels of play vs cut scene once you get past the first 3 hrs.

That said, I would love to skip the intro.

intro if you mean the jedi symbol loading? not in the begining the game loads during some of the intro screen but after a bit you can pres ESC and it will skip to menu so you can start your quest.

I read that this will skip it but upon trying it just gives a black screen until the game loads.

Go to <path-to-game>\SwGame\Content\Movies.
Rename or remove Default_Startup.mp4 and Default_Startup_Loop.mp4.

This only happened to me once in the whole game, very late in the game, where I engaged a story moment followed up by a fight where I died. I have respawned and quit the game only to return next evening to realize the game for some reason did not save my game upon respawning and I had to rewatch a cut scene. It is definitely not a common issue.

I found a proper mod to skip the intro videos which is located here:
https://www.naguide.com/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-how-to-skip-intro/

Just add the .pak file to the Jedi Fallen Order\SwGame\Content\Paks folder where your steam game files are. My virus scanner (Trend Micro) did not detect any threats and I tested it and it is working. The Default_Startup_Loop.mp4 video will play for ~10 seconds while it loads the actual game before going to the menu. The startup time for the game is reduced by 75% for me from 40 seconds to 10 seconds. Enjoy.

Good news, I found another way to do it more interesting.
We could replaced the intro video to BlackPink Music Video

But of course we can replace the intro video to any short blank .mp4 file
because we have to wait until the video finish
