Ki-Adi-Mundi didn't have much of a robe at all- it was more like a vest.

That robe pictured still comes down to mid calf so its not as short as it appears. The action he's doing is making it rise out/up.

If I make myself another over robe, it'll be sleeveless like Ki-Adi's but as long as my regualr one.

I'm leaning the long robe dragging is a bad thing lol. I wore mine at the Relay for Life event 2/3 weeks ago and if the wind blew the wrong way I had to stop and A. Pick it up or B. Take it off and sling it over my shoulder.
I know IF I'm attending CIV next here in LA my 501st friends in the midwest base told be I need to make it shorter.

When I did mine, I put it on and had it marked at a quarter inch below my anklebone. I don't trip on it as long as i stand erect, (no slouching... of course) or if I kneel and step on it as I'm doing so.
Often I think people want a robe long so that it "flows" when you walk. This has nothing to do with practical length so much as the width of material used to make the "skirt" of the robe. It's best to not make it too long then, add 'far-too-much' to the skirt. It flows great and as long as everything is just at your shinbone when it's done, you're not gonna trip. Lotsa luck.
Just a note to those that are unsure about adding to the 'skirt'. I added triangular sections of fabric at the hip-seam with the tip of the triangle near the waist and the majority at the bottom hem. It turned out great especially with a matte rough fabric. Smooth fabric will have a harder time disguising this addition. It all depends on soft textured fabric and the additions blend right in.

I just do mine with 60 in. fabric, several pleats in back, and one in front on busty ladies, cut seams on an angle from under arms to hem, very flowy, not to much bulk, length doesn't affect the flow.
