To correct an otherwise accurate detailing, not all of our gods want to be worshipped. You've taken the Norse one as an example, so I'll stick with them. They have their own lives and problems to deal with but, yes they keep a look out every once in a while and are generally benign and benevolent to us puny humans, but they don't much care for worship. They followed the Norse culture-they had to earn their praise and status, just like the warlords and jarls.
To extend this, The Father looks to be Odyn. The Daugher a cross between Tyr and Freya, and the Son Loki.
Personally, it never occurred to me that they'd be gods. Unless they state as such in the next episode (remember, me Brit, slightly behind you lot!) I had always thought of them as manifestations of the Force. Perhaps not wayward people/gods at all, but it's the Force taking physical appearance to guide its Chosen One, to realise his destiny.
