building on that, according to the movies,

Who was Obi-wan's parents?
Who was Qui-gon's parents?
Who was Mace Windu's parents?
Who was Yoda's parents?
Who was Kit Fisto's parents?

nobodies. The force does not seem to grant power via bloodline, but through random chance. Chirrut Îmwe shows that you can have low level force powers without being Sith or Jedi.
