Luke and Leia are seen as strong in the Force due to inherited traits which suggests something biological rather than mystical.

So if you say "a familily of good composers" because both father and son happen to be talented in music, does that suggest a biological inheritance?

Obviously not. Same goes for the Force in OT.

Err...

I suggest a family of good composers would be a mixture of nature and nurture.

The kind of brain and ear that understands the nuances of music (nature) and hanging around with an enthusiast keen to pass on knowledge (nurture).

Leia and Luke have hardly hung with Vader in any form of nurturing way.

They only point they both know they are both related to him is in the last act of the last film of 'their' trilogy.

So the only thing connecting them to each other and Vader is genetics.

The film is suggesting the Force ability that Vader and the Emperor fear from his children is biological, which is a bit crap for the little kid in the cinema who dreams of being a Jedi knight one day but I guess it does mean he is less likely to jump out of the window onto the nearest television aerial.

Actually being a good composer has very little or nothing to do with the ear (ie biological structure and so on). Being a good composer is all about mental capacity, perception and imagination which are not genetically linked.

What I was trying to tell you is that the quote doesn't necessary mean that Luke and Liea are storng in the force because of their father. Like I said, it can simply mean that they all happen to be strong in the force. An observation, nothing more.

An example: "my family is good at math"
