On the other hand, if all the characters introduced in BFE laid low during the Imperial presence, why didn't Wilford Brimely's character try to contact the rebels or go looking for tech he could salvage when there would be tons of wrecked Imperial hardware lying about?
The fan film "The Invisible Enemy" would fit in nicely before Jedi.

I beleive officially, they take place before Jedi. But as you said, putting them in before or after Jedi both create continuity problems, so you can put them were you wish.
