But something seems off about the waist area of that 3PO costume (though the rest of it looks excellent). Too long? Anyone else notice?

It's just the costume slipped down a bit by the looks of things. Here are some other photos of Simon in the costume, and you can see there is nothing wrong with the length of the waist area

plus the original 3p0 costumes waist altered length all the time throughout the films.

Yeah, I took a look at his Facebook page. I notice the problem in several shots, but there are also several that look fine. I'm guessing you're right that the costume must have slipped down or something.

And yeah, you're right--3PO's waist is inconsistent in the films, anyway. In fact, it always bothered me how dramatically different it looks in ROTJ. For some reason they made the wiring look sharp and jagged.
