I guess I'll find out tomorrow
There are a lot of cutscenes but I wasn't ever tempted to skip one (well, except when aliens are talking, you'll see...). They're extremely well-done. From a cinematic and storytelling standpoint this is easily among BioWare's best work.

To put some persective on the hugeness of it, I spent more time playing TOR that first weekend than I did my entire first run through Mass Effect 2...and I only managed to get two characters into their mid-teens. Now you can burn through the game faster than that, in a leveling standpoint, but I'm pretty convinced now that it's going to take me in the neighborhood of 200 hours to reach level 50 on my first toon(s), based on my initial weekend.

There will be a point later on (probably not this weekend) when you're repeating world arcs for the 3rd or 4th time that the spacebar will become active, but I would be surprised if I ever skipped over a cutscene that's part of a character class arc, at least not the first time through that class.
