The seeming "rehash" of it wouldn't really bother me for a couple reasons:
A) Twins are hereditary, it wouldn't exactly be a crazy coincidence that twins have twins.
B) While they obviously mention it in the original trilogy, they don't really explore the twin thing between Luke and Leia at all in the movies. It mostly just seems like a reason why Leia and Luke don't have any romantic tension.
I think Lucas always meant to explore Leia's force sensitivity much deeper ("No. There is another.") but for some reason he never did. Or maybe figured he would explore it further in films that never actually happened. But the implications of the offspring of Anakin being twins and having powerful force abilities was never really explored. I wouldn't mind seeing it approached here and if that could truly bring a "balance".
So while, yes, they are twins, again! That doesn't mean that anything else has to be even remotely similar.
