I think you swapped the names of the last two sets there.

While you should definitely be aware of the errata limiting the objective's Reaction once per turn, May the Force Be With You (Set 112, Join Us or Die) is considered to be the best Light Side objective set in the game. Not only does the Objective Set have a reaction that lets you attack with a powerful Force User, then gain its icons during the Force struggle and be ready to defend during your opponent's turn, but the set comes with a powerful suite of cards, including Yoda, You Seek Yoda (which can be used to search for any Yoda, not just the one from the same set.) Unfortunately, it and The Master's Domain are restricted, so you can't play them in the same deck.

Watchers in the Wasteland is also very popular, I applaud you recognizing that it could be powerful in your first light side deck. Other good sets I'd like to point out are The Survivors (Set 146, Draw Their Fire), which contains a lot of damage manipulation, A Hero's Trial (Set 127, Between the Shadows), which contains a second version of Luke that also excels as an offensive and defensive unit, and Heroes and Legends (Set 97, Heroes and Legends), which lets you take advantage of when you have multiple copies of the same unique Unit.
