This is a recap with new footage from episodes 22 to 40.
Much like the Mobile Suit Gundam theatrical movies, the Gundam SEED Special Edition movies are intended to be an override of the story from the TV series.
These episodes are in fact a complete recap of all 50 episodes of the TV series and only shown on television in Japan. The Special Edition episodes feature some new scenes and tweaks to previously animated scenes. The first special, `The Empty Battlefield`, which was episodes 1 to 21 of the series, was aired in two parts on Japanese TV in March 2004, followed by the next special, `The Distant Dawn`, which was episodes 22 to 40, in July. The final special, `The Rumbling Universe`, which was episodes 41 to 50. While the story is overall unchanged, there are a few minor changes. In addition, several scenes are re-animated and re-dubbed.
It is believed that these movies were cut to better transition the story between SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. Others believe also that the special editions were made to correct or add things that wasn`t in the TV series from time or budget reasons. It`s been mistakly referred to that this is in fact recapped episodes. While that might be the case, they`re still movies in their own right. (Source: Wikipedia)
