Yes you can, since I did get rid of the "destruction of Freeport 7" and "chatty bartender" movies.

How:
Get the Ini decompressor if you don't already have it.
go to your freelancer/data/missions/m01a folder
Back up m01a.ini (ie copy m01a.ini m01a.bak)
decompress m01a.ini

open it with wordpad or another editor.
search for "tr_initialize_init"
now delete (or mask out with ;'s in front) that trigger event and all the ones after it until "bse_initialize_init_li01" and that's bye-bye freeport 7 movie.

now edit the bes_initialize_init_li01 trigger from:
[Trigger
nickname=bse_initialize_init_li01
system=Li01
Cnd_BaseEnter=Li01_01_Base
Act_ActTrig=lce_bar
Act_ActTrig=chs_juni_bar

to:

[Trigger
nickname=bse_initialize_init_li01
InitState=ACTIVE
Cnd_True=no_params
system=Li01
Cnd_BaseEnter=Li01_01_Base
Act_ForceLand=Li01_01_Base
Cnd_SpaceExit=no_params
Act_SetShipAndLoadout=none, none
Act_ActTrig=lce_bar
Act_ActTrig=chs_juni_bar

There will be a little blip of engine noise, since you are actually in that Starflier until it removes it from you as you get placed on Mangatten.
Until I found out exactly what to trim and what not to, I kept ending up in the empty system of Omicron Major (where freeport 7 was).

Now, on to the chatty bartender movie.

backup, decompress and then edit
"m001a_s003x_li01_01_nrml.ini"
and put a ; in front of
action=scripts\story\s003x_nrml_manhtn_bar_li_01_Bar_01.thn

No more Sidewinder fang blah, blah, blah.

I didn't remove the first talk to Juni, since it actually is part of the story, not pointless chatter.

Thanx for the help.

not sure if you know this, but you can also skip the intro movies when you load freelancer up (saves you from hitting escape a few times)

Edit freelancer.ini
Remove [startup section and all the movie_file's underneath.

what he said above removes those movies, but this removes other movies too enjoy.

How about disabling the movie for mission 6?

There is a way to disable movies in the game, just rename files in mission directorie. If u rename m000_s002xe_li01_01_nrml.ini then u will not have that boring bartender.
