When Emperor Palpatine issued Order 66, did any of the Clone Troopers question the Order and then rebel against thinking that it wasn't right, or did they all just accept the orders like a bunch of puppets?
Clone Troopers Rebelling?

No, when they were formed, the Clones were given mental conditioning. Such that when issued with Order 66 by the Emperor, a switch clicked and turned all 'kill-all-Jedi'. You'll notice their whole demeanour changed after the order was issued (i.e. macho before, plain aggressive after.
I read somewhere in Star Wars wiki that it's pretty much 99% of the clones follow the order. That 1% was some random squard that didn't follow it beliving to be a fake (this squard were able to think for themselves for some reason).
You know those sleeper agents the CIA have? given a password and they will be activated?
Yeah thats what the clones are like.

Very few of the clone troopers rebelled at the time. Despite what some believe the clones weren't pre-programmed to perform Order 66 exactly they were trained to follow orders given by they're commanders. Order 66 was one of 150 pre-existing contingency orders the clones had to learn. But due to the fact that all clones were not created equally some clones took it upon themselves to not follow the properly given order.
Pretty much in the end it was the fault of the Jedi for not learning proper military protocols in the removal of the chancellor that got all but a handful of them killed. Soldiers follow orders nothing more nothing less. And the clone troopers of the GAR were the best of the best.
FYI: Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel is the last book of a great series by Karen Traviss. Unfortunately with the changes being done with the Clone Wars animated series she is no longer writing them.

There is a scene from the game Star Wars Battlefront 2, where you play as a clone trooper on The psycadellic mushroom planet that we see for all of 5 seconds in the film, when the troopers gun down a jedi twilek) And the trooper talks about how fierce and courageous the jedi was, how she saved all their lives multiple times because the planet was so trecherous, and he says having to kill her when order 66 came about was a tragic thing for them to do, because they respected her so much and owed her their lives, but they did it anyway, because they were orders. I remember him saying she thanked them all, after a particularly bad battle, and rallied them with a great pep talk, and after it none of the troopers could look her in the eye, because they knew that when the time came they would have to kill her.
The clones must have had a limitation on their free will when orders were given.

It's not that they had a limitation on their free will it's like you said, they were ordered to. Disobeying orders during a time of war is pretty much a death sentence in every army around the world. You also have to remember that the clones knew nothing BUT being soldiers. They were born to be soldiers and nothing else. Genetic defects? They died. Failed in training? They died. Acted out of line too much? They died. Born and raised as a product off of an assembly line. Hell even in the Republic they were pretty much nothing more than slaves. No rights, no choice to quit and change jobs, and the health plan sucked...
Palpatine: Hey guys, all those bad ass Jedi are traitors that are planning on taking over the Republic. So could you please gun them all down.
Clone Trooper: Maybe we should try to talk to them and see what's up? She has killed 10 times the number of droids we have in the name of the Republic.
Clone Trooper 2: Yeah you go ahead and tell her that and we'll shoot her down after you catch her lightsaber with your face...

Only certain parts are considered non-canon such as Mandalore. Which pretty much applies to everything written about Mandalore outside of the animated series.

You ever play Republic Commando? Yeah a great Star Wars FPS was already done.SirBryghtside said:
They obeyed like machines. It was indoctrinated into them at a young age and were completely loyal to the Republic government, which was Palpatine when he was granted extraordinary powers.
Maybe a few had doubts but when you're surrounded by hundreds of loyal troopers, are you going to stop?

Of course not, they were soldiers. They're not there to question their orders no matter how outlandish they may be. Basically the only thing that separated the clones from the droids they were initially fighting was that the clones were flesh and blood and the droids were metal, other than that they might as well have been interchangeable.
the one percent were a militia style batallion under the command of General Rahm Kota... you know Galen Mareks (starkiller) first jedi target in the force unleashed...Scarim Coral said:
Not quite, I had another look at the whole Order 66 and it was some team called Ion Team that did not execute Order 66.thecoreyhlltt said:
It's also noted that while they did carry out Order 66 some of them feel it was just an order while other were somewhat shock at the order (they didn't hate the Jedi, they just carry it out).

Yes. There are a few Jedi that survived because the clones tried to capture them instead of killing them out of hand. The Rise of Darth Vader has one instance of this.ZoMaster101 said:
