We all know in B5 Psy-Corp have arrange mating to breed better and stronger telepaths.
so i`m wondering in the SW universe do Jedi have something similar to breed better and stronger Jedi?

Apparently not. Although the Force has been known to run in family trees, it doesn't appear to be something that you can treat as a normal biological trait (if it was Palpy wouldn't have wasted any time developing a gigantic army of Force-sensitive clones).

While I agree its not a normal biological trait, your reasoning is totally nonsensical. Palpatine even had a group of Inquisitors to keep his force sensitive underlings and subjects under control--the reason he didn't is because he wouldn't want an army which could depose him. The whole reason for clones is they're easily controlled and highly-skilled. Force sensitives would defeat both directives.

However, Force sensitivity is transfered through basic clones, such as C'boath and Palpatine himself. However, I doubt a clone of Anakin Skywalker would have the talent and be capable of being the Chosen One. Palpatine's clones were the equal of the original because they were just shells for the same individual consciousness.

Also in the NJO Verge, a pre-Empire Jedi, blamed the chaos of the Jedi Order on Jedi actually breeding.
