Star Wars and Wookies Facebook Picture Tagging Memes

I did not create these two Facebook picture tagging memes, but I did improve their quality and optimization for Facebook usage. I do not know from where they come so there is no source link.

  • Upload it to your Facebook profile.
  • Tag your friends!
