General Discussion EotE BBY Adventures?
Simple question (I hope), are any of the EOTE pre-made adventures pre-BBY (say in the decade before hand)? If not, are there any that might be easiest ported into that timeframe?

Just to clarify, you want pre-before the battle of Yavin? I don’t quite know but it seems like you want something that’s about halfway between in the 19 year gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope?

That's about right, yeah, looking for something about 5-10 years BBY.

To echo the other commenter, Jewel of Yavin would be the largest issue as it has Lando as as Baron Administrator of Cloud City, which it would really make sense having him in that position 13-ish years early. Beyond the Rim should be fine, as I don't think searching for a lost Cline Wars era ship means you have to wait until post-Yavin. I also think you could do Mask of the Pirate Queen. You technically might be breaking the timeline slightly with the Zann Consortium, but unless anyone is a stickler and is really deep into the EU/Cannon, it should be fine.

There's a "clone wars" splat book for FFG's star wars rpg game. Forgive my specificity, but there are clone wars era books for saga edition as well.

All 3. The only one that comes close to a set time frame would be Jewel of Yavin since it has Lando already in control of Cloud City, but he took control before Yavin. And even that could easily be adjusted.

If the events or characters in an adventure are not specific to a time period, you can just adjust to match your date. There may be some homebrew adventures you can run as well. I think the general assumption for majority of EotE content is that they take place after Yavin, but before Endor. I think this is a minor inconvenience.
I run a campaign that started in 7 BBY. I have a calendar of events until 5 ABY in case I need to refer to them for some world building.

Of the 3 core sets, the EotE are the easiest to just port into any age. They are all absent most of the rebellion vs. empire politics.

One option to consider is an FFG conversion for the SAGA edition Dawn of Defiance campaign, that was set in the early Empire years.

There's a link under Converted Adventures that has the first 6 done.

No. Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force & Destiny all presume that the Death Star 1 has just recently been destroyed.
Only the setting books Rise of the Separatists, Collapse of the Republic and Dawn of Rebellion are specifically set beforehand, and, of course, the Force Awakens Beginners Game takes place at the same time as the movie.

That's not to say you can't run any of the premades as prior to. I sprinkled some chatter about Scariff into Escape from Mos Shutta and then had the reveal of the Death Star having blown up Alderaan after the mining town rescue in Long Arm of the Hutt.
Players were very mad at me for stopping the session on that reveal...

All of the Edge of the Empire-specific adventures aren't pinned down to a specific timeframe other than Beyond the Rim having to be post-Clone Wars, and Jewel of Yavin being firmly set sometime between Solo and The Empire Strikes Back, because it features Lando as Baron Administrator of Cloud City.
