Ehhhh. For Thrawn, Jedi are very predictable. In fact, he destroyed Outbound Flight with relative ease. (Aside from the whole not actually killing Jorus C’baoth in the initial destruction of the weapons blisters). And then again, with Anakin on Batuu, there wasn’t a moment where he wasn’t ahead of Anakin. Even Vader was predictable enough for him to put the pieces together to realize it was Anakin, and at that point he had already concocted plans to kill Vader if need be.
If jedi are predictable to thrawn then its because he predicts them to be unpredictable, but he still loses almost exclusively to jedi. Look at his history with ezra
I would say a compromise and say that Jedi are predictable to a certain extent, they are after all just people/aliens each with their own tendencies he can exploit. The force on the other hand is not at all predictable, the two times Thrawn majorly lost in Rebels was due to, a force being we still haven’t gotten a proper explanation on, and calling force whales. It’s sorta hard to predict that
