Does Absorb Energy absorb extra damage done by a crit?

Glossary Text
(Force; 2 Force points) When a character using this Force power is hit by a nonmelee attack, it can avoid the damage with a save of 11. If this character avoids damage in this way, it also removes existing damage equal to the prevented damage. The character cannot gain more Hit Points than its original total. You must decide whether to use this Force power immediately after the attack hits.
So by the Definition you avoud all damage. Extra Damage From the Crit is still part of the damage total so it would be absorbed also.

According to http://www.bloomilk.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1459, disintegration and the resulting defeat occurs regardless of Absorb Energy. I'm not Sithborg though....
