Go to your library and rent/check out "the making of Revenge of the Sith". GL clearly states that Anakin could have been the most powerful Jedi to ever live. I honestly, never heard Luke being able to become as powerful as Anakin.
PS. By RotS alone, Anakin was stronger then all but about two jedi, and him vs mace is occasionaly debated. Luke potental was extremely high, but no where near that of Anakins. Anakin was perfection. Padme' wasn't. Luke inherited that, so logic alone should tell you that gradually, the skywalker family would get weaker and weaker, for they weren't mating with other Force-born people.

Wait, so Anakin got none of his own mothers traits? Or was Shmi perfection, too?
