Vanessa Lachey and her family made sure to strut multiple Halloween costumes this year.

Prior to the actual holiday, the celeb shared a cute photo of her and hubby Nick Lachey dressed as ringleaders while their adorable son Camden was a little lion, but when it came to Halloween night, the beautiful trio were inspired by Star Wars.

During her appearance on E! News today, Lachey talked about the precious snapshot she shared on Twitter of her baby boy dressed as Chewbacca, while she and Nick rocked Princess Leia and Han Solo costumes, respectively.

And although Camden was the cutest Chewbacca ever, that wasn't Vanessa's first choice for her little man.

"Before he was born, we wanted him to be a Yoda, because I did the math and I was like, 'He'll be walking' and to see him walking as a little Yoda would be adorable," she told E! News. "But he's not really walking yet, he's stumbling around, so I'm like, just carry around Chewbacca. It's fine."

There's always next year!

Lachey also talked about her new role on Dads, and actually revealed that she didn't initially get the part, but got the call back after Seth MacFarlene, who she said is "so amazing," pushed for her to be on the show.

"Another girl got it," Vanessa explained. "It was between me and another girl, she got the job, a week went by and Seth said, 'Vanessa's the girl I wanted and I love and I think she's Camilla.' And I then got the call a week later, 'You got the job.'"
