It's apparent that there is some kind of generic part of it, mainly from the idea that Luke and Leia had connections because of their father. But it still required training. Anakin was basically born of the force yet still had to go through a decade of training to get to the level he was. Luck also spent a good 3-4 years (not sure exactly how long it is between New Hope and Return of the Jedi). It isn't a days worth of sitting about, having an old guy be afraid of you and then suddenly being able to move tonnes of rocks... or even then being a one on one with a guy who trained for years as well.
Generally according to how the story was written in 1, most Jedi aren't allowed to breed however, they are Jedi. So that power most likely doesn't get passed down often.
Hmm, pie.
